Forever In The Making

You have been permanently sewn into my dreams every night
You are the only goal I have in sight

That isn’t entirely true, however my goals revolve around you

I’m counting down the days until we live together

Until I can wake up next to you, every day

Your sleepy smile melting into mine,

Your hands in my hair, 

A kiss goodbye before work every morning

Moving out isn’t just boxes, and keys

It’s building my life with you

Walls painted with laughter,

Floors worn down from countless days together,

A bed, unmade from love and late nights,

Where I worship you as the moon worships the tides

Pulling, pushing, and never letting go 

Loving you Evie is like work, hard work

But not work at a job you hate, with long hours, and long commutes

It’s like the prideful work an artist puts into their creation, 

Like a musician shaping a melody,

Tweaking every note until it sings just right,

Because every chord is worth the effort,

Like a gardener tending to their favorite flowers,

Like a blacksmith forging something unbreakable,

Like a poet rewriting a line 100 times,

Like a chef perfecting a recipe,

Like a sculptor chiseling stone,

I love you so much darling, 

Not just the way your lips fit against mine

Or the way your body sets me on fire

But the way your soul feels like home

The way you smile and stim when you’re happy

The way your hands flutter, and your eyes light up

When your laughter bubbles up like it can't be contained

I love the quirks that are yours alone

The way you see the world, 

The way you hold me like I belong.

I will ALWAYS spoil you

In gifts, in time, in touch

Whatever you want, whatever you need

I will give, and give, and give

Because I love the way you take.

Because I love you-

In every way, in every form

In every moment that will stretch into forever in the making.
