Love Poem: While I Look Up

While I Look Up

No change has come quicker
Made me forget i had a tongue
While you stared me down
And i stared you up

Tall and dark and handsome…they say
How shallow a definition next to you
You looked at me “that” way instantly
As if on perfect souls cue

A never failing love no matter what i do
A never failing set of shoulders to lean on
With even frowns that send my way a heat wave
Knowing If it meant saving you, I’d lay in the deepest grave

Their crazy is our normal
Yet you understood I was not prepared
And at the same time…
Wasn't fool enough to think me scared

You fed my courage, filled my strength
You held onto me as if we were never separate
All the wrong doors that were opened for me…
You knew to instantly slam shut

Those eyes…the world is gone
Those eyes…my vocabulary an instant delete
And in those eyes…
I am far beyond complete

Knowing where you go I follow
Knowing where I go, you protect
Always there, and forever here
Surrounding me even when from afar

If its a scar from you
It's worth every second I’d bleed
If it's an ocean I have to cross
My courage will never be at a loss

You make me feel finally…completely fine
So many others have just judged so falsely
For the me, who I see inside my mind
For you to see, I never once had to plea

The world was full of bluff
And you never cared for that stuff
A whole man lives a whole life
My subconscious already knew i was your wife

And here we are…so many years apart
Lifetimes we have forgotten, memories faded
And here we are…never to part again
Everything we’ve missed out on…no matter
Our realities together again now, we will catch up
Never again having to let go of you looking down at me
Those eyes…
While I look up.
