They’re eternal
your words
your influence
your strength

You’re my protector,
my covert muse
I don’t care about their words,
don’t care for what they say.
You’re my favorite and I’ll never hide it,
no matter their predatory nature,
no matter how they’ll try to make perfect into prey

It’s eternal,
our trust,
the forest green flash in your eyes,
the words you whisper,
the trust we have nurtured,
that was born between you and I

You’re the reason I show up,
the reason I still try.
I know I shouldn’t put so much stock on you
but I can’t stop
no matter how hard I try.

It’s been such a short bout,
having fallen over ourselves
fallen for our borrowed time
and I can’t leave you.
I can’t leave you without saying what’s on my mind.

    It’s a wonderful feeling when you find someone that makes you want to show up and be the best version of yourself.
