I Cried That Night
(A very very personal poem)
I cried that night you told me you couldn't sleep
Because you were in love.
You said you couldn't sleep because reality was finally better than dreams.
I cried that night because I was your reality
And you still felt like a dream.
I cried that night because I couldn't believe it and I pinched my arm wondering if you were a fantasy.
I cried that night because you were so far away.
Because though we lay under the same sky, we were miles apart.
I cried that night because I thought I'd never get to feel your face in my hand
And your hands in my other.
I thought I'd never get to feel how rapidly your heart beats while I lay my head on your chest or how your pulse
quickens and your grin broadens when you look at me.
I cried that night because I'm jealous of the people who get to see you everyday
I cried that night because I was scared.
I was scared of love, and of people who wouldn't welcome it.
Because we are too young to know what love means.
Is it looking at each other feeling like you found a lost piece of a puzzle?
Is it finally feeling like you're good enough because they can't seem to stop reminding you how amazing you
are?
Is it the fact that they know how weird you are, but still wouldn't change a thing about you?
Is it waiting on your toes to see them again?
Is it feeling a rush of adrenaline when you see them because you can't hug them because too many eyes are
watching?
Is it the assurance that they plan on loving you for a long time?
Is it the fact that you can share your wildest dreams with them?
If that sounds like love to you
Then that's what it is.
You said you'd hold me in your arms and stare at the constellations above, and I said I'd stare at you because you
are my galaxy.
It'd be only you and me, a sky full of stars
And the whole friggin world
Speeding on highways, driving cool cars
Sing along to the radio, off tune, wrong lyrics
Save each other from dragons, and share books
We'll bungee jump off cliffs, and build campfires
The road’s beneath us, the horizon is in view
And I can't wait to live this dream with you.
I cried that night because I was happy and in love.
With you.
