A Long Awaited Kiss

Two both broken and closed souls,
Hurt too many times to count.
Either by past lovers or friends,
Searching for happiness,
For someone who understands.
Who won’t turn away from our mood swings,
Who won’t want us to be plastic or change.
Acceptance found in each other’s eyes;
I am not afraid to live in my true skin when near you.
Morbidly romantic with many sides,
Never will I have to dye my hair blonde,
Modify my morals,
Where all black,
Or change in any other way to make you happy with me.
You understand that you are dating me and not clay.
Yes I have a weird glasses fetish,
But you are the one turning me on,
Your intelligence along with your perverted humor turns me on,
The glasses just add to the effect.
I promise I will not run away when the storms arrive,
I will do everything in my power to mend the tares in our sails;
For you are becoming my everything fast.
I don’t know if it’s because I have wanted you for such a long time,
Or if it’s just for the simple fact that we want the same things in each other,
But now I have someone who understands my cries.
Understands my pains with the world,
Who also sees the hypocrisy of mankind;
Of doctors and their numbifying medications.
This will most likely be the last poem I ever write;
My last drop of words spilled onto a soon forgotten journal.
I will take their mind poisoning medication,
Let the Lithium drain me of all my creativity and feelings.
Numb me to the point of boredom,
In the hopes that it will curb my mood swings,
So I don’t lose you like I have lost all the rest.
After the twenty hours straight I spent with you,
All I want is to spend yet another twenty hours in your arms.
It’s as if I could never get enough of you;
Listening to you breathe is like soothing music,
Your presence makes me feel natural.
As if I am normal and there is nothing wrong with me,
A feeling not even my own mother could furnish me with.
Together we will both become stronger,
Both become better people.
I may be immature at times,
You have to admit even my randomness surprises you,
But I promise I will never lose sight of why I entered this relationship in the first place.
Our first kiss sealed our fate.
With you I can test the waters of my future,
Without having you weigh me down like an anchor.
Never will I have to worry that you will consume all my time,
Because we both want to achieve great things in life,
And need our space to grow.
I have a relationship filled with trust,
Something I need in my college years,
Something you need in the final stages of your closure,
Our long awaited kiss couldn’t have come at a better time.
