the moment that i knew
I have waited
my whole life
for her
All of the
heartbreak
and tears
and leaving
and broken promises
and expectation that was
never met
and the hurt
and the lonely
and the days spent
crying on floors
lamenting the fact
that of all the things
I am grateful for
that one particular person
has yet to show face
until one day
she did
And it made
my teeth ache
and my heart beat
and my blood pump
and my toes numb
and the snow fall
and work to call
us both off
and the Universe
to grant us
a day to just
share
and drink
and read
and sleep
and kiss
and talk shit
ever so lovingly
and probably
overstay my welcome
and wake up
to trains coming
the second you stop
looking for 'em
And me praying to whothefuckever
that I haven't shown
my bones
too much
or my ways
or my heart
or my blood
and if I did
I feel so blessed
that it was you
who saw
whose eyes
I got to reveal myself to
whose breath I may have bated
and whose heart may have been
grabbed at
by those hands
that I love
that you try so hard
never to draw attention to
