As I Muddle Through
To Bre
As I muddle through my daily grind,
I find more often than not that you’re on my mind.
Believing in not giving up on what you always think about,
I hang on and hope for everything to work out.
I lay awake through the night trying to understand it,
Peeling away the layers in my mind to make all the pieces fit.
Though I long to know that you think and feel the same,
I get the strongest sense that someone else holds your flame.
As I muddle through my nights and my days,
Wondering if you know how much I do praise.
I tell you how beautiful you are,
I show you how important you are.
I think I could spend a lifetime staring back into your beautiful eyes,
Melting away at my walls and leaving me with no need for a guise.
I want to fall asleep for the rest of my nights holding onto you,
Bringing you flowers, ice cream, cookies, and hugs when you’re blue.
As I muddle through trying to gain clarity,
Driven by what I believe is our polarity.
Feeling as though I am naturally drawn to you,
In Hopes that I am not fooling myself into believing that you feel it to.
The simple feel of the warmth of your skin against mine at night,
The fact that almost every conversation between us I can recite.
How easy it is for you to disarm me with nothing more than your soft kiss,
How when you are not there it is everything about you that I miss.
