My Person

I'm scared to love you

Because if I love you

I give you my entire heart

Not just piece by piece

But the whole god damn heart

I'm irritable and needy

And I don't know how to love you

Or be loved by you

But I don't want you to look back

And think that was the biggest waste of my time

Because I do love you

All the love songs became about you

The person I long to tell about my day

Becoming my first thought in the morning

And the last at night

And every time

My heart skips a beat

When our lips intertwine

They enkindle this spark between us

That could create a wildfire

But then you leave

My lips left parted

And go cold

My heart yearns

And my temper emanates

Disputes arise

Peeves emerge

And I wonder if it's all going to be worth it

But then I remember

Gazing into your eyes

Stroking your cheek

Immersed within your arms

And I've never felt so

Safe

Loved

Whole

And I know whatever obstacles hinder

You are my person

And I love you
