Poems and Prose

I want to write about you 
Matthew.... 
I want to hold you forever, in my book of poems and prose 
So even if you leave , I'll have you still and you'll never know. 
I want to poetically define the hair on your face
And the quaint comfort I feel at your place. 
I want to find the perfect simile for your warmth and the sun. 
And how it's too soon to tell if you're " the one" 
But I still hope you are. 
I want to express the joy I feel, when you're name lights up my phone. 
How I smile like a fool, even when im not alone. 
Poetry is the only way I know how to make my feelings clear.
That in a room full of people, nothing and no one matters if you're not there. 
I want to metaphorically, descriptively, say, 
How I would fight for your honor. And to keep you by my side. 
How holding your hand, gives me so much pride. 
I want to write about you, because nothing in life last forever, and I don't know how long we're meant to be together. 
But if I write about you, that's a tie , I will never have to sever. 
Because these are the things that life is made up of ,
How I know my feelings aren't lust, but not quite love. 
I have to write about you, cause people come and they go. 
And as much as I'd like to hold on to you, I just never know. 
That one day you could decide, I'm no longer what you want out of life. 
That the day may come when you decide to say, to say goodbye.
