You're perfect,

and yet not quite.

You brighten my life, unknowingly...

Exciting my heart to flutter for you,

Jolting me with the power of lightning with the simple graze of a touch,

Is it right for me to say that your scent drives me to insanity?

You affect me in such ways,

But never notice,

Your eyes are never on me, but watching someone else.

He's undeserving,

But then again I don't merit as well.

You grow stronger

Train with such might,

Battle exhaustion,

Become a person I almost cannot recognize,

Shatter with your broken heart,

Fall with that pain,

Then rise to begin anew.

Today is different,

The strength you usually radiate is absent,

There is no light in those eyes that are not mine.

Determination seems to have abandoned you along with that boy,

You're not smiling as I stand over you.

You usually smile when I come to see you,

But not now.

Instead you look to the ground,

Shaking with the intensity of your tears,

And I wonder if you might break.

I wait for you to finish,

And when you do I'm at loss for what to say.

Your eyes are riddled with pain,

Your pink lips curved in anguish,

And I know you're hurting.

You whisper my name,

And I lower myself to the ground,

To you.

You say nothing,

Such a deafening silence.

I turn to look at the object of your interest,

And am met by something familiar,

That harsh stone impaled in names of those lost forever.

You whisper your hearts pain,

Tell me how they didn't deserve to go,

How it should have been you.

I pull you into my arms,

And you cry.

When you run out of tears your hold on my vest loosens,

Your head lies limply on my chest,

And I can feel your heart begin to mend.

You tell me you'll be fine,

How as long as you have me then you feel life's worth continuing,

How you love me.

Your tone shows no regret at those words,

And your eyes are bright again,

Looking at me now how I had always wished,

Your lips are softer than what I imagined.

Today truly is different,

Today I'm not watching you get up to go home from afar,

Instead I'm here with you in my arms,

Your lips meshed with my own,

And you no longer leave alone.

Then on you grow stronger by my side,

Light my life as you stand next to me,

Look at me and only me,

And let me breathe you in until my heart is content and full of you,

Now you are complete perfection.
