855 square feet,
two people
one cat.
Apartment 204 there it sat — vacant
awaiting for life to fill
its vast space.
Tickle fights,
Cat naps,
Romantic dinners
dressed the walls.
There we sat building
our Ikea dresser
on a Summer’s day.
Eating our first meal,
where we lived together
in clash.
A year later
memories packed
and sealed with nostalgia.
Apartment 204 is now vacant
as we settle into our new place;
two people,
one cat.
There they met for the first time.
She knew he was about to change her world.
Alone they talked, smiled, laughed –
Without a care.
There he picked her up –
For once she wasn’t scared.
She gave him her 143 that day,
He wept happiness –
Something he lost a long time ago.
They met at a park and have loved ever since.
She grabbed the moon,
while the stars fell.
The man on the moon,
pulled her up.
They sat together all night
fishing for fallen stars.
Not a word was said,
but much love was felt.
I’d rather be…
listening to your voice,
than drying my tears.
I’d rather be…
hearing your life stories from you,
than others sharing for you.
I’d rather be…
holding your hand
than carrying your casket.
You’d rather be…
flying planes in the valley
than watching us weep.
Time withered away
our hurtful memories.
Leaving behind your
joyous smile.
Here I sit without you
as I await the night.
Like sand in the wind,
my dreams vanish.
Leaving me empty
handed.
The day will return
when you’re beside me
once more in paradise.
Here I skip stones,
across the still water.
My feet anchored
within the sand,
as time flew.
Each sunset spent
without you, my
heart ached.
I yearn for your
return with
red roses and violets.
Those dainty words
twirl and dance
between my eyes.
I’ll say it today,
I’ll say it tomorrow,
I love – you.
Sweaty palms, speedy heart,
unable to calm the storm
as you glide towards me.
Your smile grows wide,
melting my heart.
The world sits in
silence, now’s my chance.
I……I…..I love…..
I love you!
