In Your Arms
I know what I want
I know this can't go wrong
I know that in your arms
Is the only place that I belong
I want to lie next to you
And feel the beating of your heart
I want to be amazed everyday
That this is only just the start
I want to stay quiet
And listen to you breathe
I want to stare into your eyes
And see you looking back at me
I want to pull you close
And never let you go
I want to tell you over and over
All the things you already know
I want to tell you that you’re wonderful
That you are my best friend
I want to hold onto your hand
And tell you this feeling will never end
I want to tell you that you’re beautiful
That you’re everything to me
I want to tell you that in your arms
Is the only place I want to be
i just found this poem while i was looking through a box of old notes and ticket stubs and other "memorabilia" from my relationship with dave. i'm attempting to make a scrapbook, but instead i'm just reading and remembering. nothing has yet to enter the pages of this book.
this was a poem that i wrote way back, early on in the relationship- during the really mushy stage. and it just made me stop and think. really think. i have written poems about people before, and whenever i came across them months or years later i would get this feeling of disgust. such a dramatic, overly emotional young girl i was. so many wasted feelings. but i don't feel that way when i look at anything in this box. this box, these last (almost) three years, is an ever growing dream come true. i finally got that passionate, heart-pounding, completely overwhelming, poetry kind of love that i've always wanted. i've always been reluctant to use forever terms. afraid that nothing this good could last that long. but for the first time in my life i can think "forever" and i'm not scared. his voice is the first thing i hear when i wake up and the last thing i hear when i go to sleep, and i want it to be that way always. this is a love that has been through so much and has only gotten stronger.
this is a forever love.
