23 August 2012
I love you;
Ridiculously,
Completely,
Helplessly.
I've fallen far,
Far too deep
Into you to
Ever surface
Somewhere new.
I can see a future,
A glimpse of
Happiness,
For both of us,
Like a breaking dawn,
A world of hope,
Caught up in
Your smile,
Those clear
Green eyes,
In each and every
Laughter line.
Your gentle words
Give a promise of
Something rich
And warm;
An image of
Old leather
Like the well-worn
Jacket your
Father gave you
All those years ago.
And I know
The smell of your hair,
And your cologne,
And the glow that
Comes from being
Encircled by
Your arms,
Wrapped up in
Everything you are
Staying close, so still,
Afraid you'll let go
If I dare to breathe,
Or I'll wake
Into the pale
Morning light
And the cold company of
An empty bed
And it would have been
Just a dream.
But there, in your bed,
Between the sheets,
The feel of cotton
And skin-on-skin,
I'd let life
Slip by, no regrets,
No worries, cares,
Because, my lovely,
You'd be there;
Hands twisted in
My red, curled hair.
And you'd always sleep
Next to me,
Looking so beautiful,
Peaceful, naive,
I would just lie,
Listen to you breathe,
Walk my fingers
Over your skin,
Brush my lips
Against your
Sometimes beard,
And finally be
Content with
All life has given me.
I'm helplessly,
Completely,
Ridiculously
In love with you,
Johnny.
