i must thank my lucky stars

i must thank my lucky stars

A Poem by flickering candle

june 3rd, 3:17 am
i started to fall in love with you the second i looked into your eyes, and kissed your lips under the trees and the midnight skies
and ever since then you’ve had all of me
its like the feeling you get when you jump off the 10 foot diving board into the water
exhilirating, overwhelming, sensual

i fell in love with you all at once
 watching the light in your eyes, the steps you take, the way you look at me

i fell in love with you in a park at midnight
the lightheartedness of your voice, and your beautiful face looking back at me
it was the night i made an angel my own
i gave you a necklace that meant more than it seemed
a heart just like my own, which i gave to you completely, 

covered in diamonds that i would hope to shower you with for the rest  of my days


you’re a feeling so intoxicating i could drown in it and be delighted

with every second, every breath, every smile, i fell more deeply in love with everything that you are

 i finally understand religion when they speak of self-sacrificial love



a love you could die for

a love larger than the skies and more breathtaking than the stars
one that kept me awake at night
staring in disbelief at my own pure luck

it seemed as if the stars above had given me a woman worthy to reign them all. 

an angel.

one morning i woke up next to you, and the feeling was so consuming, 
i knew, looking down at you, that i’d go to the end of the universe and back to wake up next to you every day



and that no matter how far apart, no matter how many years pass, all the particles of my soul will find yours, in this life, 

and the next, and the next, and the next…...



its three in the morning and i cannot sleep, but i could do this for the rest of my life

A woman...that took me by surprise a bit as I was thinking you were talking about a man. A sign of the times I guess but that's fine with me. You reflect your feelings with what appears to be heightened senses. I'm sure love has a lot to do with that. I enjoyed this.
