Other Half

Other Half

A Poem by Ariell Cranor (Mispeled Mermaid)
"

Owen was one of the only guys I was ever emotionally AND sexually attracted to, and also very gay. Which actually worked out well, we became best friends, inseparable, now I love him in a better way.

"
Owen Nemeth,
The name I can't seem to forget,
A face I can't stop seeing;
That dream that dominates my dreams.
My forbidden fruit I will always long for.

His eyes are like doors, opening into a world I haven't yet seen.
His smile is like a thousand stars shining at me.
His laugh sounds sweeter than any chime.
I can't seem to get him off of my mind
And wish irrationally to call him mine.

I can't get enough,
Just can't seem to walk away.
From day one to today I've been enamored by him.
There's no escaping from this iron grip, I fear.
But I'm ok with these chains holding me here.

I couldn't ask for a better addiction.
This one is real, and sweet, and strong,
The kind of drug that grabs you and never lets go.
Like any other it has the power to destroy me, this I know;
But I don't think it will, don't think he will.

I trust in him like he trusts in his feared failures.
I believe in him like he believes in his happily never after.
Even though he sees the dark, I see the light in him
And I won't stop until that reflects into his own view.
So, Owen, what I'm saying is I'll never give up on you.

Here I stand
Talking to you, writing to you,
Telling you everything I wish I would've sooner
But you see, were alike you and me
And as you know, opening up is not easy.

People say love is a dangerous word,
They tell us it's misused and cheapened
And I believe that to be true but here,
In this moment, I know without a doubt
I mean it when I say I love you.

I don't mean love in the way Cinderella loved her Charming
But in the way the Doctor loved his Rose.
Love that doesn't quite make sense but doesn't have to.
A love so strong it can take any form you need,
Whether it's a friend or a lover I'm willing to heed

I love you like Appa loved Ang,
Always there ready fight for and by you
No matter what happens or what we go through.
And even when you can't see me I'm still here;
Just a whistle, or call, away, I'll always be near.

With a little sugar and spice and everything nice
We were made to be one, destined to cross eachothers path.
I believe that without a doubt deep down in my heart
And I don't intend to ignore predestination, you're stuck with me
And I with you, and that's the way it should be.

There's no other out there who gets me like you do
It's like you're living through me and I through you
You just seem to get every little piece of me, and I of you.
So here we are; one in heart and mind,
We have something not many are lucky enough to find.

Best friends are so much more than just a friend
They're a fighter, a protector, by your side til the end.
They're a counsellor, an angel there to hold the pieces of you
When you just can't help but fall and crumble.
They're there to steady you when you shake and fumble.

You're all these things and more to me
Anything and everything I need is all that you'll ever be
And I hope that I'm the same kind of friend to you,
The kind that you can count on through thick and thin,
The one who gets you like you get me in the end.

It's like you complete the thoughts I think
And you're there ready to pull me up before I sink.
You fill a part of me, complete the half I'm missing.
You've felt every feeling I feel and lived every hell I live
This is evident in every word of advice you give.

I'll never let go of the things you mean to me
And never stop striving to be all you need me to be.
I intend to hold onto to whatever we have,
When I say forever, forever is just what I mean;
After all where would I be without the other half of me.

I write to escape, to feel free and in control when everything else seems to be spiraling insanely out of control around me. I also write to express, tell stories I could never otherwise share. If y.. more..
