it's not that you make me less
creative—
it's that you make my life, for once,
the adventure,
and i no longer have to romanticize
the parts of my life that don't
exist yet;
because somehow, someway,
you're making them come true,
and i can't help but feel
like you're equally my muse
as well as my rock—
my nails draw perfectly along
your jaw, your chest, your shoulders
making me feel safe inside
the cocooned realm soundly
your arms create around me—
how did i get so lucky?
lucky in love, but so lucky
that someone loves me
for... me?
that i'm perfect,
for... you?
the perfection you see is not
lost on me, because i live in the spaces
between the words you breathe
into my neck as i hold you;
i hear you, and i listen
to your heartbeat and your fears
i want to be everything to you,
and i never have to worry,
though i do—
you are simultaneously
the best thing to ever happen to me
as well as the scariest
but i'm in too deep now
and i've learned that love does,
indeed, hurt — sometimes
but i'm also understanding
that the hurt is from the bursting—
the explosion inside me
when i look at you, when you kiss me
after a year with you,
i cannot wait for a lifetime more—
even if i shall perish tomorrow,
i'm eternally grateful,
in this life and the next,
to experience fleeting life and lasting love
with my soulmate—
if only for an interlude;
a tiny speck of time in the vastness of humanity,
with you
