my sweet ray:
when i think about you
my heart skips a beat,
my palms get all sweaty,
i get weak in the knees,
and i cant catch my breath.
i become giddy as a school girl.
i think about the bond that we have created.
we have formed a friendship
that is invaluable to mi.
shared our dreams and plans for the future.
we can be serious or goofy
(you are very good at goofy)
i think we understand each other
and encourage each other.
in my dreams
i always pictured a man
who was intelligent, handsome,
sensitive, fun, made mi laugh
and would completely overwhelm my heart.
since dreams are just that- dreams
i never imagined to find such a person.
until you.
then you
brought into my reality
the truth
that dreams
can come true.
only you are more
wonderful than my dreams
ever imagined.
i think about the times
we’ve talked, laughed, shared.
you have comforted mi when i was sad
and sometimes just sat
and listened
while i rambled on about nothing.
we have shared
some intimate and personal moments
that no one can take away from us.
thank you
for being the perfect friend.
then i think
about the fact that there is so much
ugliness in the world
that sometimes i find it impossible to smile.
but when i think of you-
i can only think of
being together,
of happy, good things.
i think about your smile.
you make mi smile
and that makes mi keep a smile on my heart.
i know
sometimes i come to you
feeling insecure,
needing reassurance
that you care, that you’ll be there.
i think sometimes
you might need that too
so i want you to know
right here, right now
no matter what
that i love you so.
~ “mi”
