The chance to dream

powerful words laid out in rhyme
the expression behind thought and feeling
every color of your voice and the sound the smile on your face makes
burning hot skin exploding to my touch 
joining icy fingers on a snow filled morning
the taste of rainbow candy on your lips as I absorb and devour the beat of your heart
and I was here before
but it was different then
the struggle was never worth the pleasure
and here now I know the struggle but can only feel love
and that's it you see
that four letter word so small in size
trying to describe what words fail to explain
but always try because maybe someday I'll match the words to my heart
and you'll know every wish upon a star I've ever made just to find you in my arms

Do you ever feel like you're chasing your own tail
Running round in circles to pointless ends
You really need to stop showing up like this

People keep telling me how content I look
And they laugh at the smirk on my face when I start talking about you
And I know they notice changes in me because I can't hide them
And it feels so good for once not having to hide why I'm so fucking happy

You make me so happy 
And how we do it so effortlessly
That we found each other
And they say it sounds so hard
But really you are the easiest thing I've ever done
Because while there are tough things 
None of them stand in the way
You give me peace where all I've been is restless before
Thank you for existing
I couldn't do this without you

there's so many things i did wrong
and the regrets take over late at night
but something i realized today

for as much as i guard my heart
for as far as i distance myself from people
for how much i hide from my own emotion

every time that ton of bricks has hit me in the head
i have made sure she knows
and that makes the regret not so sharp

i never want to be the person that let the best thing go
because i was too afraid to fail
because i was too afraid of myself
because i was too afraid to let someone love me

I'm not afraid of you 
You and your skittle kisses
Or your mesmerizing laugh
Or the way I have no control of the beat of my heart when you say my name
I love the way you say my name
I love the way I can still taste you on my lips
I love the way you have imprinted who you are onto my weary soul
I love you Maggie
When you read this just remember
Now
