Random Acts of Poetry: The Epitomy Love Story

There has to be a moment in time
When I can remove your fingerprints from my skin
Where I can tell where you end
And I begin
Where I can take a breath that doesn’t start with
An exhale from your lips
Where my body doesn’t beg for attention
From your fingertips
Where our love doesn’t exist
Isn’t there?
I’ve loved you so long
Everything I knew before I met you was wrong
And you taught me things anew
Now my heart bursts with a song
That you wrote for me
The first time you laid eyes on me
How our eyes met, yours shy
And mine bold
I knew then that I wanted you
And that I would stop at nothing to make you mine
I walked right up to you, my eyes on yours
And boldly touched you where no one had touched you before
Running my hands along your body,
Marking my territory
Because you were mine, you just didn’t know it yet
Some people don't believe in love at first sight
I don't either
but I know that we loved each other before we ever met
And from the moment we met, our souls hugged
And we just couldn’t be without each other
We couldn't figure out how we survived thus far without each other
We couldn't imagine living another moment without each other
It wasn’t long before I love yous were exchanged
You told me you loved music
I told you I dreamt of you before I even knew your name
That the man of my dreams had your face
Our lives could never be the same
Because I could not think of anything if your face was not in my mind
There in my head, watching my thoughts
Making sure that you were there somehow
You couldn’t sleep until you heard my voice
So young but so sure
We knew that living without each other wasn’t an option
It’s not something that we even considered
The soul tie was so strong
I would think of you and you would show up
Saying you needed me
Our minds ran on the same wavelength
It went beyond finishing each other sentences:
Our spirits held conversations without our mouths uttering one word
We epitomize love
We epitomize soul mates
When God made you, he had me on his mind
He knew I would like broad shoulders, so he gave them to you
He knew I can’t stop talking, so he made you an awesome listener
He knew you like ‘em thick, so I carry my thickness well
He made you strong, but he made me resilient
So when life gets hard, I can hold you up
While you hold me down
And when our bodies get too close
They intermingle
And the love we make is so sweet
So intense
That it shocks us each time
You know exactly what I need, every time I need it
I know exactly what you desire
And I fulfill you as you fulfill me
We are the perfect fit
Our hearts have woven together like they were made together
And broken apart at birth
And searched for each other all their lives
Only to find each other
And vow to never separate again
As we grow older, wiser
So does our love
We learn new ways to deepen our bond
To further take our love, to test it, to strengthen it
To grow it
To let it stretch out and engulf us
To let it build up a shield around us
So that nothing can break it, taint it, make it unclean
You complete me because I was born with half a heart
Once I found you, my other half, I became whole
Loving you is a pleasure that I never will give up
You are my heart’s song
I sometimes hug you and I look above my head
Trying to catch our souls dancing up there
So happy to be together, so joyous at the love we’ve found
You are my love song
If there is a place where our love doesn't exist
I will never
Ever
Go there
