just dreamin

You are there, somewhere;
still and strong and waiting too
with sunrises peeking through your teeth
and sunsets cradled in your arms
You are there,
as broken and as beautiful as all of us,
eyes open, chin lifted
waiting patiently.
Our eyes are set the same way—
forward, glancing eagerly toward the horizon,
waiting patiently.
Your fingers fit between mine,
and my head belongs
small against your chest,
where I will listen for days and nights
to that stalwart, gentle rhythm
that will always guide me home.
You are there,
sneaking peeks at the moon,
as if you know there are things too great for us,
things too magnificent for us,
but we will reach anyway,
arms stretched and waving,
together flailing,
till the sky takes notice
and smiles,
pulling clouds over us
(because I think we will like it that way)
while we dance recklessly in the rain,
like two crazy romantics,
for whom all the clichés come true.
You are there,
and we will fight because we love.
We will yell and hurt and laugh and love
fully and jealously,
with a love that snarls menacingly at any threat,
with a love so large and whole that it cannot help but protect,
and fight,
we will always be fighting
(for, with, against)
and our love will conquer everything that comes our way!
You are there, somewhere;
leaning your head on the window,
staring out into the night sky,
waiting, patiently.
