Are You My Everything

I’m not one for frivolous words

but sometimes you make me wish

I was

and when time is so scarce a commodity

I can’t help but deem time spent with you

un-wasted

and my heart aches when I think of being near to people but

your closeness somehow soothes

and I often wish to run away

it would seem quite dull

to run without you

and to think I often like to be alone

I’d rather like to be alone with you

you are every book I’d like to read

every coast I’ve yet to explore

you are every un-ended happily ever after

and every untaken fresh beginning

you are the sky behind each star

and the clouds every ray of sun colors

as the day passes

you are every growing piece of grass

and every newly fluttered wing

Are you my everything?
