Someone

Five years ago.

2002 was so long ago, but so very near
I remember back then, when I was filled with fear,
trembling and shaking, as I asked you to be with me.
A hug that stopped time, I was filled with so much glee.
An eternity of delight, lasted 10 minutes that night
Ever since then, life felt more than just alright.
We've shared so much, from summer days fishing in a lake,
to the winter night we shared a bed, nothing was a mistake.

I've grown accustomed to falling asleep up with you,
Just after we do those things we like to do.
I know your smell, your touch, your voice,
I know I'm addicted and have no other choice.
I need your love, without it I'd just fall apart.
Just last year I thought we could go and part.
Life then was entirely devoid of energy.
My heart was 3000 miles away from my body.

When you came back it made me realize,
I should hang on to you, before you etherealize.
And I'd walk for miles and miles,
Just to see one of your precious smiles.
Your laugh could bring the world peace,
if they could only hear it, war would cease.
You're all I need in this life to be happy,
and I'm sorry if this all came out sappy.
