Little Things

Someone Like You

There are some nights when I simply

give up on sleep

because I know that it will not come

with you on my mind the way

you always are,

so I open up my blinds and

turn up my music and

watch the wind rustle the leaves

as I think about

all the things we've done,

and all the things that we will do.

on these nights when I

give up on sleep

I imagine the most beautiful scenarios

and pretend that I will wake up

next to you again,

maybe it isn't healthy

because I wake up some days

feeling my heart break in two

when others I have been awoken

to a light from my soul

my love for you making me stronger

making everything seem brighter

but I don't care

because these last few years I have been 

looking for someone

just like you,

someone that I can

trust and talk to about anything

someone who will voice their opinions

and keep me on the right track,

I have been looking for someone 

with a laugh that makes the sun shine brighter

and eyes like the sea

that will hold me close,

won't ever let me go

but will give me the freedom that I yearn for

and bring out the best in me.

I have found

all these things

in you and although we are far

from perfect

together I think

we are

and so for now

my search is over because we can expect

that this will end,

but until then I have found the person I want to be

when I am with you

and that makes me feel amazing,

a feeling that I have not experienced before

so I thank you for your wonderful existence and

everything that brought us together and has kept us here

because it's people like you

who make people like me happier,

and it's only you

who makes my days brighter.
