A Love Poem

I’m so happy with u
I find myself smiling at my phone
and smiling before I kiss you.
I find myself lost in your arms
and smelling your hair,

us kissing on the couch
and hugging till there’s no more despair in the worlds relentless and unfair
air
that we breathe everyday.
It telling us we aren’t okay,
aren’t normal or unnatural as their infatuated with their old traditional ways.
And I find myself holding my breathe in this
world,

but with u I can breathe.
The ship stops rocking
and my chest pains tend to seize.
I get a warmth in my body
and a laugh escapes
and with u everything is quiet, in a good way.
Their shouting stops telling me i’m not good enough.
So stay by my side no matter the trying times
and know that u make me happy.
I love u.
