Lucky

Lucky

A Poem by Maddi Snowden

Lucky is the person who holds you close
and protects your heart like it's their job,
like it's their only job.

Lucky is the person who dances their thumb
across the top of your hand,
who causes that lovely laugh you
hate so much.

Lucky is the person who sees you as radiant,
a beacon in the sky,
the center of their gravity.

Lucky is the person who can tickle your toes,
who can make you pancakes
even though
you prefer waffles.

Lucky is the person who can make you feel
as breathtaking as you really are without
saying a word from their mouth.

Lucky is the person who caresses your unguarded
heart on nights like these, nights
with loneliness building it's wall,
it's habitat because I know that one
time you almost let the loneliness get to you but
trust me when I say that lucky is the person
who makes you see that you have purpose and
potential because you are intelligent and brave
and you are worth so much more
than you give yourself credit for.  Lucky is
the person who makes you see
that nothing is as scary as we make it out to be
because one time you called me and I was asleep
and I should've answered because lucky is
the person who gets to pick up those late night calls
and hear your cracked voice on the other end and
they are lucky
to hold you close and whisper in your ear
everything I'm dying for you to hear because
lucky is the person who can love you senselessly
and listen to s****y music on late night drives with you and
cherish every moment cause even though
you hated when I sung along, it still made you laugh and
embarrassing myself for your enjoyment is
more than I could ask for and lucky is the person who can
walk in your shoes and take you to lunch
and make you feel as special as you truly are.

Lucky is the person you finally let in.

And I wish I have the chance to be this lucky person
but I am already lucky enough
to have known you.

Best line EVER!!!!

Nicely laid out poem, at first I thought that it was going to be a "funny love" poem, but after the first four stanzas, you switched to something more serious and heartfelt! Super cool! Keep on writing
