Vows Poem

Vows poem Oct 9, 2017 at 12:45 AM

I can’t say you're my soulmate, true love or my other half. It came true the day I told U I loved you

I didn’t want marriage or to have kids. I believed love as fake infatuation.

I look at you, it reminds me I fell in love

not with your looks but your heart, soul and mind.

You became my light in darkness, my love in heartache and I couldn’t live with the “what if“ of not telling you I liked you as broken glass repaired my heart in image of yours

Broken, hurt, used, and bruised, but you healed my heart with love, not sex, gifts, or food, but love I could return the same to you.

True as the day I realized

You were the love of my life, my soulmate as I felt butterflies creep into my heart

And create beauty as my love grew stronger for you

A relationship of up and Downs

Like holidays and dates we could never break from. Remembering the day I met your parents made you surprised I hugged them goodbye. Thinking I captured their hearts the same way your whole heart is mine as mine is to you.

Writing this poem young at 18, I fell in love

Like the moment we almost got hit by car

That didn’t stop or turn, you yelled what is he doing like the end of the world had come.

Realizing I loved you more then me, then anything.

You pulled my arm like I was mannequin into you like protective shield I could feel my emotions were no longer on my sleeve

And left of bruise not of abuse but of being scared like the parking lot of the wingstop

We pulled into

Holding you close to my heart,

Life is short. Realizing you were

The love of my life when I offered my grandfathers necklace protection to you

As though we became locked for life.

I can’t call you my first but I can call

You my last like my daydreaming has

Become reality at the seams of white

Wedding dress

Color does not matter to me

Like the looks we got on buses

And malls. I’m not afraid

To hold your hand in need, caress

Your cheek, hug you in winter

And kiss you in public

They say communication is

Key and forgiveness is everything

Like the day we broke up

Made me realize my love was stronger

For you then anyone

It was like dagger to the soul,

Gun to the heart even tho I was

The one who broke yours

Two days our hearts were lost,

Me crying two days straight,

The third our hearts became intertwined,

Fixed and new memories to make

You forgave me and I promise you to not

Allow stress I feel to pull us apart

not to let us travel different

Paths or to break your heart again

With attitude that can become shards

Of glass, overthinking mind, and cry baby persona, we’re still the weirdest and nerdiest couple we can be for each other like you have continued to assume

I can’t forget the day you proposed. September 23, 2017, with nonchalant attitude and Kendrick Lamar hoodie to tip the platter.

Hiding your ring in the hoodie, mine in your pocket like pudgy hamster that you are, but in all seriousness you told me how it was yours, you felt like you were messing up.

Yet, light bulb had yet to click, as you told me check the bathroom,

Yelling like child without guidance Justin

I don’t see anything but seeing you on one knee proposing to me

Saying; the only thing I can say is I love you Alexia is the one sentence I can't forget. shocked as much to believe someone like you could love someone like me.

I dropped the hoodie, hugged you like child said yes as loud as my lungs could like unforgettable whisper because even without ring my answer would forever be yes.

Late night calls, FaceTime and texts, huge paragraphs of love I do not regret.

So, please don’t go, I want you to stay.

You are my star and I am your moon. Your the stars to my moon. I am the moon to your stars as you are the waves in my heart. I give you all of me because I trust you as I pull all my walls down for you to see my happiness, depression, sadness, joy, madness, anger, insanity, jealously, kindness, caring and love as I say I love you and I do.
