“Team
I found love in sheets wrinkled
around his body as I lay next to
him.
In the way he hated how I drove,
so he would always have his hands
heading for the keys first for our
protection.
The way that he called me at least
six hundred different nicknames
but never once called me a harsh
name out of anger.
I found love in the way he drove
two hours with his hand in my
hand every moment
to surprise me with a gift he
researched for in secret.
In the way he never left me feeling
uncertain about who we were.
The way that I was his,
he was mine,
and we were us.
Together.
He called us a team.
I believe everyone needs a teammate.
One who supports you, and isn't
trying to compete against you as an
opposing rival.”

“Wrap Them Up And that’s the thing about people. You can wrap them up in kindness & love, and they will still have something cold to say about you.”

“Stars
Out of all the stars,
you were the one he looked to at night.
Not knowing that to him you shone brighter than the rest.
Even if there was an over abundance of bigger or brighter stars,
you were always the one
his eyes fell to.
The light he knew would guide him.
The one he searched for even on the most overcast nights.
I bet if you didn't spend time comparing your qualities to the others,
you would have noticed his eyes always locked on you.
But remeber he is the one who
knew you shone,
even before you did yourself.”
