After all time


You have been me. For four years  now.  You've been my heart, My mind, And my free time. Every moment, You are my thought. My favorite thought Is you naked. Not naked as in No clothes. Naked as in Who you are. The little details, Things you don't even know I see it all, The real you. Its more then trivia, The colors that make you smile, And the food you don't like. Its the trick questions. What scents you use before work, And when you prefer to shower. The soda cans cluttering your bedroom And the places you don't eat. Thats shirtless at most, I know more. The parts of your mind You don't even explore. I know about the divorce And how it made you protective. Like it or not, Its not anger, its hurt. Deep down you love me, However you'll never show it. You never had the best 'romance' examples. You think I'm mad Because the way you are. Truth is you show it In so many other ways. When you take me on adventures That are really just errands. The random add ins To make me laugh in a conversation. When you give me the aux cord, And when you chase me After stealing your shoes. I know that you love me, You don't know that you show it. I'm not mad, I'm astonished You don't see it too.
