While I Look Up

No change has come quicker Made me forget i had a tongue While you stared me down And i stared you up Tall and dark and handsome…they say How shallow a definition next to you You looked at me “that” way instantly As if on perfect souls cue A never failing love no matter what i do A never failing set of shoulders to lean on With even frowns that send my way a heat wave Knowing If it meant saving you, I’d lay in the deepest grave Their crazy is our normal Yet you understood I was not prepared And at the same time… Wasn't fool enough to think me scared You fed my courage, filled my strength You held onto me as if we were never separate All the wrong doors that were opened for me… You knew to instantly slam shut Those eyes…the world is gone Those eyes…my vocabulary an instant delete And in those eyes… I am far beyond complete Knowing where you go I follow Knowing where I go, you protect Always there, and forever here Surrounding me even when from afar If its a scar from you It's worth every second I’d bleed If it's an ocean I have to cross My courage will never be at a loss You make me feel finally…completely fine So many others have just judged so falsely For the me, who I see inside my mind For you to see, I never once had to plea The world was full of bluff And you never cared for that stuff A whole man lives a whole life My subconscious already knew i was your wife And here we are…so many years apart Lifetimes we have forgotten, memories faded And here we are…never to part again Everything we’ve missed out on…no matter Our realities together again now, we will catch up Never again having to let go of you looking down at me Those eyes… While I look up.
