As of Now

304 days today, right down to the first kiss,
       Things fell apart, sprung up and grew legs
                                       all at once and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Regardless, though, you’ve given me more and it’s in
       the thousands of times I’ve kissed you,
                           looked into your eyes and smelled your hair,

or

The hundreds of times I’ve made love to you,
the other hundred I wish I could have
                         and the next hundred that I’m waiting for,

or

Those few times I’ve brought you a rose,
                     not for an occasion or even a reason but
simply because,

and especially

During those times I’ve gasped quitely to myself while
              looking at you and mourning just a little bit because
                        you’ll never truly know, you’ll never truly feel how
              vibrant and vital all of this is to me.
