Valentine

It's tiring, trying to live in this reality.

You see, life is just too real for me,

so I live here among the stars.

I breathe in the night sky

and get drunk off the milky way,

while this counterfeit galaxy is

woven from fairytales.

I have a bad habit of

placing you here with me,

in this make-believe world of rainbows

and endless summer nights.

My world revolves around the rhythm

of our heartbeats and the sun sets

every time you kiss me

as slumber covers us with her warmth.

And then I wake up

and I'm still in your arms

and the fantasy continues,

in real time.

It's then I realize,

no one else has cut a hole in the fabric

of love in such a way that it blends

those two world's seemlessly.

You shine more than

the stars you've shown me,

you're worth more than the richness

you've given me,

your touch radiates through me

and I know I belong to you.

You are mine

and you are worth the world to me.

I love the way you love me.
