I measure my love for you
in red scarfs and stolen looks.
In mandarins and the color of you songs,
in promises of good health and the flowers we receive.
In the promises you make for me to be happy and my thoughts of wanting you to be one day.
I call you Jennifer cause I am afraid of the truth.
The truth of you finding my love and your importance in my fondest memories.
Afraid for all the years you cried for me and I stood still.
Afraid of you moving on without me by your side.
Being happy with or without me.
The soundtrack of my love.
I measure my love for you in jokes that make you laugh and the promises of never letting you go.
In the promise of supporting even your failures and dreaming of something bigger for you.
In the hidden tears I don't wish to share that hurt me the most.
Of always caring for you even in the dark and of always writing the melody of my songs inspired by you.
And of always loving you and figuring it out in the end.
When you are gone and I am alone.
Alone with just my memories of you.
My dear, I don't want us to end like this.
I will make the song inspired by my love hoping for you to understand.
is the soundtrack of our love.
(Thank you for reading I wish you a happy and beautiful day to come your way and a special thank you to @i-like-potatoes for encouraging me to post the poem. Thank you for your encouraging words 💕 And please do tell me if you would like for me to post more!)
