Not Me Until There Was You
I gleaned and imagined your presence
As assured as the Lazy-Boy in my living room
She smirked at me and poked fun
It mattered not
For I was in love
You have no idea how many times I have died
Watching you watching me watching you
Crisp and crunchy, fresh, new, fulfilled,
Salty as a Lay’s potato chip, but tasty too
Let’s not go there
I did not realize that I was not me
Until there was you.
I was a clown, a buffoon, a joker, a jokester
A Mad Hatter wearing Alice’s head as a disguise
Laugh if you must, but I will laugh at the same exact time
Each and every time, like when we watch movies.
Any movie.
Choose one. Hell. Choose them all.
I recognized you almost instantly as my destiny
Dependable and unwavering, not unlike clocks that never wind down
Blowing into my life with decency and innocence
You were my wonderland, my forever,
My destiny
I was not me
Until there was you
