i hoped i'd never have to write our break-up poem

you were my music-man
my dancer in the kitchen
my date to the fancy stuff
my protector
my stars and sky
my panther

you were, are, and always will be everything.

so how did we let ourselves slip away?

you were my snake charmer
heart racer
secret keeper
my sun and my moon.

you were joy
you were heartache
you were the pattern to my heart beat.

and as our moods swung - so swung our hearts.

and when you left, i cried oceans.

i searched for help
i searched for something
i searched for you.

because you are everything.

I saved all of my tears for the day that you
come back so we can wash our hands of the past with it
and of everything that led up to this moment and
this day.

I’d climb a mountain
collect stars in my pockets
jump from a plane
take the train
take the high-road
take the pain
take my heart

erase every single moment
up to this minute

in order to find a love like that again.
in order to get back what we lost.

because baby,
you are everything.
