The key to my heart

by Beautiful Tragedy   Dec 7, 2016


I stand on the other side of the table;
humming to the song being played.
Light conversation fills the room;
None of which I usually pay any of my attention to-
I cant see anyone except you.
Pretending to fidget with a piece of thread in my hands;
I only ever keep my eyes on you.
You brighten up whenever I'm around;
It makes me feel great about myself
-it makes me feel loved too.
The song changes and just like that- you turn towards me,
Ignoring everyone else for the moment.
"Do they like you? Do YOU like you.."
It's a beautiful song- but you singing it to me,
Makes love explode through my chest.
A feeling so pure it is- what I imagine at least;
What heaven feels like.
I get lost in your chocolate brown eyes,
And I absolutely
Mmmmmmmm
mmmmm
eeee
lllll
tt....

Willingly trapped in your gaze; I can't look away.
I see my entire future fly across my vision in a matter of seconds; and
It looks a lot like you.
"You don't have to try so hard; you don't have to bend until you break, you just have to get up, get up, get up..."
I swallow a lump in my throat;
for you sing every word
With the looks
of pure love, and complete adoration written all over your face.
"...you don't have to change a single thing."

I want nothing more right now than for you to wrap me in your arms and kiss me sweetly...
If I thought I knew how much I love you before, I was dead wrong because right here in this moment;
My love for you bursts out of my heart- exploding through every inch of my body and
Enfolds me in a feeling so beautiful,
So unbelievably glorious that it takes all balance in me not to
Crawl into your arms;
The emotion so powerful it leaves me dizzy.
I.
Love.
You.
I've said it so many times;
But when I try to think of how to explain how I feel;
That is the only thing that I'm ever able to get out.. Those words hold such deep meaning and
powerful emotion behind them;
Especially when I say them to you.
You smile, making me forget how to breathe.
I threw the spare key to my heart away that day;
Knowing that I wouldn't need it
Because there is no one else.
You are half of my heart- you make me whole.
There is no need to have
a spare key in worries
that you might lose the original;
The other half of my heart is the key-
And you are the other half.
