I would bleed for your lips.

I know I would feel love

if I just felt them burning against mine.

I know I’d feel tears in my eyes.

Not a day would go by

that you wouldn’t let me feel them—

to let me know.

I’ve seen your eyes a hundred times,

and I want to see them a lifetime more.

I see the ache in them,

the knowing I’m your certainty.

I want to fade into your body like a ghost

when you see me that way.

The walks after work,

just to hear about your day,

and the soft accent that comes

when you talk to me—

I would love you for just that alone,

to spend that time meaningfully.

You bring meaning into everything you give me,

and I have been touched

I just got done watching the new movie and just needed to say how amazing it was. I had brought my childhood Buzz, Jessie, and Woody knowing this may be the last time ill see them on the big screen- and it was such a nostalgic moment, seeing them all again. It was such a refreshing example of what toys can do for us, and how in its creation- technology was mentioned to bring us further together- not divide.

Then, as the movie ended, during the credits, a little boy with fake tattoos of dinosaurs and trucks on his arm came up to me and asked to see my Buzz. Over the next few minutes we talked and laughed, comparing our older and newer versions of the same toys we'd just seen on screen. He'd go to his parents, showing them off with such a big smile on his face, with all the care a little kid can have. It felt right out of the movie. Experiencing in real time, the way toys connect the young to the old, and how we bond through them, no matter your life experience.
