Whether I Never Have You

I see you so clearly
it's as if you were on the other side
of my window pane. 

We share the same pain and fears
we are both like children afraid 
of needles in the doctor office.
But wipe the tears off your face.
I am here now. 

I can't tell you how much I care.
To me your outside features 
don't really even matter.
I saw rainbows after a heavy storm
when we exchanged words.

Around you I get so mixed up 
like cake batter.
Your presence challenged everything
I once believed. 
Like a mother giving birth 
new ideas you concieved in me. 

You showed me how the stars 
could align in a different way. 
I never once looked for you
and like they said you found me. 

But I have to be patient with you
because you haven't yet realized 
how good together our dynasties could be. 

I have cultivated a plan to be friends first
we can paint each other slowly
and when we dry hopefully we end up
together. 

I'm just glad I met you. Whether I never
have you or whatever.
