Thank You

I'm the luckiest person on Earth, anybody who disagrees can meet me in the pit for a poetry battle and the below poem may sound like it's being uttered by an ostrich but for his sake I will SCHOOL YOU

Since it goes so often unsaid,

Replaced by leaning my head on your chest and fighting sleep,

Or quick kisses in the wings,

Thank you.

I guess it's this moment's I love you, 

With the same breath-catching ineffable sincerity,

Thank you, love, for everything you've done.

Thank you for being both aware and still determined,

Even when it's really, really hard to do so

Thank you for letting me try to help you, fruitlessly or no.

Thank you for admitting that not everything is always going to be okay.

Thank you for just being there when the world feels like it's crumbling

Because you're there, close to me, and it's like the world rebuilds itself

Oh, I don't know

Thank you for being brave enough to continue to try and give 110%

And as cheesy and coach-giving-a-pep-talk-esque as that may sound

I mean it

I mean it all

Thank you for still, in spite of it all,

Being the slightly crazy,

Politics-debating,

Edelweiss/Disney/Broadway/Barbershop Quartet-singing,

Strong, selfless, humble, and careful person

That I fell in love with

And still do

And will

For evermore.

Oh, good God, that was schmaltzy, I can't end it like that.

Well. 

Thank you.

Author's Note

I'm already delirious and have cried twice today and PROOFREADING IS FOR THE WEAK but in case you couldn't tell this is directed at a specific person (again, like most of them) so if this makes no sense, sorry. Nothing makes sense in my head right now, welcome to my world.
