theo
a poem dedicated to my best friend—my boyfriend
this poem is dedicated to the love of my life;
the one who helps me avoid legions of strife;
the one with whom i can confess;
my deepest fears and i can express;
the abstruse insecurities that he empowers me to address;
and he’s the one to allow me to decompress;
prior to Theo, i was an exhaustive mess;
he encourages me in every step of my success;
and he helps me to see the true decency that i possess;
and although we cause each other occasional stress;
i’ve never met someone i love this way, nonetheless;
Theo has assiduously embraced me;
with all of my ailments cycling viciously and rapidly;
Theo has genuinely allowed me to see;
all of my beauty—externally and internally;
and despite my lack of high self-esteem;
Theo has persuaded my aura to gleam;
brightly and in the direction of optimism;
he has truly decreased my cynicism;
he also reduced the consistency of my self-criticism;
Theo adores me from bottom to top;
i am never concerned that he will stop;
loving me dearly, nor will i be cropped;
out of his picture, nor will i be chopped;
out of his life, nor will i be dropped;
like an apple that fell from a tree;
Theo loves me way too profoundly to flee;
the love that we have is unconditional and he allows me to feel free;
our admiration and affection for each other is as deep as the sea;
and i believe that Theo would agree;
i’ve conjectured that our love is clear;
that Theo has altered my whole atmosphere;
and I will never meet someone remotely as sincere.
