when we're old and reminiscing

when we're old and reminiscing

about our great love story

I want people to be jealous

of how wholesome and boundless

our caring and devotion

really is

I want you to be the last love I ever need

to find you in the next life

because I have to feel this good again

did you inspire me this way the last time

our souls found each other

you make me believe in the power of the universe

that some things are destined

I mean I never would have met you

if I hadn't moved across the country

for a fresh start

I was looking for personal growth

now I want to grow into a person

that you want by your side forever

I called myself a poet

but I had no creative spark

no font of inspiration

nothing shook my soul

to the point that my emotions were so overwhelming

that I had to put my feelings on the page

or risk being destroyed by their intensity

then I met you

I've never written more
