The Warmth of You

Oh, babe… I had in mind to write you some beautiful poetry tonight… something about asteroids and snowfall and the comforting warmth of your presence… maybe I might have said something about how just seeing you soothes me, how your smile calms my soul while making my heart beat a mile a minute… it's me, so I'd probably squeeze something in there about your insanely perfect ass, before turning it back around to reminding you of how much I value your presence in my life…

But, I dunno, babe… it's just not coming to me tonight, so instead I'll just say that I love you. That I absolutely adore and cherish you, and that every moment I spend in your presence is a treasure for me. That I still can't believe I somehow get to interact with you now very nearly every single day of my life, even if somedays it's just one of us sending some dumb thing on Facebook to the other. Oh, it isn't enough, it isn't nearly enough, but getting to take those walks with you is a dream come true for me. How surreal and beautiful it is that a year ago, I'd sit on my front porch just in hopes of even just getting one of those smiles… and now I'm there, by your side, as we share our wins and our losses, and as you lean on me and I lean on you…

God, it feels good to have you in my life. You have no idea.

So, I'm sorry, babe, that I couldn't construct you the thing of beauty I had in mind for you tonight… but I hope this will do.

Goodnight, sweet beautiful love… I love you.

Yours.
