My Boss
She walked as if she owned it
and maybe it's because she always has.
Flipping her hair this way, not that one
and with eyes like the sky staring down at you
big
blue
big
blue.
Offering you a smile of almost perfect teeth with barely chapped lips
A whole new world of dreams and adventures and happiness and everything you could ever ask for
all contained in her brain for you to find one night after two too many drinks.
Her fingertips rough, a guitar in her pocket
she'll sing you to sleep before any number of sheep.
A lullaby of all her favorite things,
and one day
one of them could be you.
Together, you'll laugh about things that aren't funny
and travel the galaxies of your minds.
Secrets are shared and memories made
and soon
you'll realize how much more she is than the blue eyed, smiling boss.
She is loved, by
you.
You'll notice everything:
the lazy curve of the almost smooth lips when she says she loves you
the way she hums while finishing spring cleaning
and the feeling of her hips in your hands.
She is much bigger, much better
than the blue eyed, smiling boss.
She's the reason you started watching superhero movies again.
she is yours.
