I MISSED

My god this is so ridiculous

I am so completely into this

Made affirmations

And proclamations

I know that we're locked into it

But I can't go ten seconds

Where I don't think of you

Surely this is some kind of

Magic or sorcery

I'm enchanted by you

Found you - yet still long

To belong to you

I think of you

Constantly

Can it really be

In all of these years

I never had

This magic?

This love - you loving me

Are you the first one

To love me

Honestly?

That's what it feels like

That's all I can see

This difference

Resounding in me

Someone loves me

Who's not my mommy

Someone's given me

A sense of belonging

Each moment I got

You fill me up

Each moment I want

Far more than enough

All the best love stories

End in tragedy

But ours is like that in reverse

Changed from pain to "happily"

Our tragedies came and went

So We get to start

Where those other stories

Fall apart

Like Romeo and Juliet

Waking up after

They're dead

We're like

Barney and Betty

Or Ethel and Fred

Shirley and Squiggy

Or Sam and Diane

Al and Peg Bundy

Or Dan and Roseanne

Claire and Cliff

Brad and Angelina

Gomez and Morticia

Or Darrin and Samantha

Truly I'm sure though

I must be Bewitched

Like you'll say what you want

Then your nose will just twitch

Like the Princess Bride

I'll say "As you wish"

Cause there's not one thing

I wouldn't do

For this

Didn't know how to be loved

'Til it came from your lips

I still can't believe

How much of Love

I missed
