WHEN I MET YOU

When I met you…

I didn’t know you’d go 

on to buy some fragrances

because they carry my scent.

I didn’t know you’d send 

me a picture to say

“is it what you wear”

I can’t get over your smell.

I had no idea that I would 

have to watch you shower, 

because you didn’t see 

a crime in calling and 

asking me to stay

with you as you bathe.

Before I met you, 

I had no idea I could tell 

love from eye balls, until

I looked at yours and they 

carried my images so strongly.

I saw the love you have 

for me through eyes, 

it wasn’t difficult. 

It wasn’t too much to ask. 

It was there, every day, per time.

When I met you, 

I didn’t know one could

be so stuck on a person. 

I enjoyed being stuck on you. 

Clinging to you so tightly.

I promise I never saw that coming.

You should see your eyes 

when you tell me stories.

The way you smile 

when you see me coming.

How you so passionately hold me.

Have you seen yourself around me? 

I didn’t know until I met you.

What could be and what had been. 

Those tiny forehead kisses.

Moments that were so real.

How you make love easy.

I didn’t know these things could be. 

Although we faded off like a season.

It was the best thing to ever be.

The best thing to ever happen

Was you belonging to me.

I didn’t know until I met you,

That love could make one so happy.

And if you ask me,

I will say it over and over again.

That you were worth everything that I gave.
