Sweet Lullaby
For you
Like the wind, you swept me off my feet.
Before I could even think, our lips met before a blink.
Then we were off to the coast, basking in love.
We split a random pizza and slept in a clown car.
I broke my neck and I was sick the rest of the trip.
I ate a psychedelic and then you tripped.
I knew in that moment that our hearts were connected.
We spent the night by the mountain, your eyes blue as the most beautiful fountain.
Your skin glowing in a radiance that echoes in my mind.
By the time we were driving home, I knew I was so in love.
We made it to my bed and you were rough.
Unfortunately I passed my illness to you, I spent the week nursing each part of you.
Still, snotting and leaving a mess, you were the most beautiful thing in my life in each breath.
We spent the following weeks basking in honey moon glow, learning more and more while spending nights together, more times than we know. We weren’t always perfect and I knew it so, yet I wanted to discover the parts of you that you wouldn’t show.
Knowing that love is a lifetime dance if you give it the right attention.
As time went on, the lotus began to unfold. Your beauty only grew the more I got to know you. Your resilience is truth and I kissed that tattoo every time I knew. Your skin to my lips is like a spark of existence for my own.
Only we know the truth of all we’ve endured and if a casket lay my wake, at least it was earned finding what true love was, simply burn me to ashes, never to return.
I don’t know how many years we went, I can only tell you the exact number of days.
You made me age so fast that I don’t even mind missing a day.
If life without you is like this, then I want to provide you with a lullaby kiss.
You deserve the best in this life and I no longer know what that is.
I dream of a future with you and our son running the beaches as one.
Lifting you up so you can grab the low hanging fruit while we listen to flutes.
Many little dreams that you don’t even know - I’d rather leave them to memory than go conquer them alone.
Sincerely,
Drool
