Every time

Going through boxes, I stumbled upon a poem I had written for Cody. Not sure when I wrote it, probably around the time we were married going by the subject matter and the fact that I had put my then nickname (Fajita) on it.

I love you
I know you know that
but can you really tell someone you love them too much?
How can I just say it once
when I'm reminded every time
you look into my eyes
every time you smile
or when you touch me?
I can't express in words how happy I am
We are finally together forever.
How could anyone let this feeling die?

How indeed. I find it very interesting that I included that last line.

wake up

Ever since Sean and I shared so much on my trip, the writer in me has been itching to come out. I'm terribly out of shape when it comes to poetry, but I thought I would give it a try.

was it a dream?
you pinched me, but I still wonder as I lie awake in this empty bed.
my fingers entwined with yours so effortlessly.
with the simplest touch, a rollercoaster of butterflies nearly forgotten.
though hoped for, I never expected anything from you.
left behind with the flowers you bought for your "friend".
miles away, but I can still hear your voice in my head
feel your caress on my neck and the ache to my core.
I can't sleep anymore.
I need to, but I don't want to forget.
