Hi Grace :)
I haven't even started writing, and yet..
I'm already smiling dumb to the thought of you
What the hell happened to me
How can you make me so fucking happy,
Just existing there like that
Crazy.. it's not even that long ago
We were practically strangers..
But you feel like someone that has always belonged
Damn
Where the hell you been?
What took you so long??
You monkey..
Suddenly showing up
How could you let me fall so hard..
Still trying to grasp how it all began
But the deeper I search..
The more I try to understand you..
The harder I seem to fall..
What the FUCK was in that sushi??
I may have been the first-
To invite you in my heart
But gyatt damn woman
Have some courtesy puhhlease
Bitch didn’t even clean up after herself
Smhh
Every crevice of my mind is splattered with you
My heart is so full of you, I can hardly call it mine
Fuck me..
The audacity of yours
To show me such warmth
With a presence so potent
Your scent won’t come off
The audacity of yours
To check in on me
With charm so disarming
You dismantle my walls
The audacity of yours
To ask me about my day
When hearing about yours
Became the favorite part of mine
You got me writing about my feelings and shii
Got me scrolling through love advice and poetry
Searching for the means to express
The way you make me feel
It’s confounding, really
All these poets at work.. and yet
I’ve not seen a piece that can quite describe your essence
So I can’t help but try my hand, over and over
But you are the kind of beautiful
That words could never capture
...
Of course not
How the fuck could they?
When you are the embodiment of chaos
A walking, talking paradox
A romantic, a realist
Whimsical yet driven
Tender and tough, with humor and depth
Could try listing for hours and i wouldn't reach the end
Designed to be loved but loving so freely
A poet by day, free animal by night
Emotional wisdom beyond the level of logic
So wholesome, so unhinged
Straight to a fault but somehow so puzzling
You sting like a butterfly and float like a bee
So clumsy, so carefree
Yet so full of grace..
I could spend a lifetime
Studying your face..
Oh shit that rhymed
Wait I was writing a letter
When the hell did i start trying to get poetic
Just another example of how you
Bring it out naturally
You'll blush and deny
And say that its all me
But bitch just accept it
You're a part of me
And now I'm addicted..
You're my psychidelic..
Every version of me
Craves every version of you
...
How poetic of the sun
To revel in the glow of a moon
Basking in a mere shimmer
Kindled by her own soul
...
Ok I tried to be poetic there lmao
Man what the fuck am I writing
I guess this kind of reflects our relationship as well
Chaotic and awkward, intention with obsession
Kind of like a haunted house of mirrors innit?
You keep slamming my face into the reflection
I can't help but start appreciating myself
Its agonizing
And you tease me so fucking hard
Always got me feelin some type of way
Fuck meee
Its the way your smile penetrates my soul
Its the way your laugh melts away my fears
Its the way your voice makes me love the sound of my name
I won't fucking rest until you love yourself the same
I saw a post that said:
"The universe really took its time when creating you"
Butt fuck that
The universe gave you options
And your ass really said "all of the above"
That couldn't have been easy
To balance so much contradiction
The depth with which you appreciate the world
Isn't built overnight
You forged that shit from fire and steel
I see your effort, I see your strength
Like the calluses on a carpenter
Like the scars on a warrior
I can only see the signs
But theres more to your story
I was afraid to leave a mark
On such a work of art
But brace yourself Grace
You gave me consent
Your future and mine are now intertwined
Ima grab a marker and annotate the shit outta yous
You asked me the other night
If we're lost together
Are we really lost?
You are right
I don’t feel so lost anymore
Even with the space between us
Even with the timing of our lives
The universe slipped up by teasing me with you
In navigating the darkness
Of space and time..
You are the lighthouse that revealed the shore
I’ll grab fate by the balls
And make you mine
I’ve never been so sure
Of anything in my life
But I’m absolutely certain
I’m sure about you
Happy Birthday Grace
These fireworks
Are specifically for you :)
