You

The name of you has the sweetest taste rolling out of my mouth,
it tastes like safety and hope,
The smell of you fill my lungs and i can’t get enough,
you smell like a savior, the reason to continue on.

The warmth of you is like a blanket,
it keeps me smiling when the sky is gray,
Your smile is as bright as the sun,
it brings peace when there’s a war in my head.
The thought of you has me smiling,
you give me fluttery butterflies that are escaping.

You are the chill on a fall morning,
you are the first blooming flower in the spring,
you are the sunrise when the night feels like an eternity,
 you are just a friend.

I am a hopeless romantic,
I am in love with the idea of being in love,
mostly i’m in love with the idea of being loved by you.
