I love you *-

January 18, 2026

My heart seems to race at just the thought of you as if a,

Chemical slipped into my veins a poison I welcome,

even if i’m not cordial with

Romance-

I want oh so badly to be so I grow anxious at the thought of it-

your brown eyes

Pierce my heart as an arrow striking its target true,

The warmth of them-

unlike any blanket I have ever felt,a

Veil that lets just the two us smile and nod knowing that I have you and you have me.

The same way the sun keeps the moon from drifting

I have you,

The same way the moon makes the earth's tides

I have you.

Before you I had a,

Bad Omen lingering and glooming over me-

Now I look back glad I had kept walking.
