I spent a few years dreaming of your kiss
Entertaining the intrusive thought of the softness of your lips
And the day came when the leaves lost their saturation
And suddenly that dream became a fixation
The next six weeks, a bitten tongue between my checks
The old me would not have hesitated, but you were a delicate territory
I didn’t want you to be just another tragic story
So I didn’t, until I did
And I pretended not to remember, but I did
I thought I messed everything up
My mind consumed by you for the next few months
How could I know if these feelings were real or if I just liked the way you made me feel?
I have a history of breaking leases, so I gathered all of the pieces and I put myself through all of the tests
A missing earring, an empty feeling
I made a list and you left no box unchecked. Not a single one
I made a playlist and that’s when I knew my testing was done
Am unfiltered thought became an involuntary statement
And it echoed though each empty room, so vacant
Awoken from a birthday nap, post-sleep-where-am-I confusion
“I miss him” Being my final conclusion
And immediately I knew it was love
Because I have felt love before and this felt the same plus more
It was hard for me to not tell you until Saturday
Because I knew you wouldn’t have believed me on April Fool’s Day
Soon it’ll be a year it’s hard to believe
Everything we’ve done, my heart back on my sleeve
You’ve help mend so many broken things
My heart, my mind, everything in-between
In one year I’ve laughed more than the rest of my years
I’ve cried more happy than sad tears
I didn’t believe life would ever have rbis in store for me,
Baby, happy one year anniversary.
