To You, My Person

heavens opened

love poured

i held my palms open and

i caught you

somehow from the start i knew

we're permanently stuck with each other

i just never predicted how

tight we'll be bonded together

we conquered the universe

of glitter pens and barbie dolls

we tore through the streets of childhood

in spy suits, fighting trolls

the embarrassing little secrets

were all unabashedly shared

we built a city with blocks of memories

of all the truths we dared

our differences cannot go unnoticed

yet we are exactly the same

two souls fond of laughter yet dwells in silence

and we both do think my jokes are lame

you endure all my annoying nonsense

i deal with your mood-swings like a pro

we function like a balanced equation

sharing strengths and weaknesses as we grow

we pull each other

when one gets too drowned in doubt

we push each other

when one is tempted to back out

i pat your back

you wipe my tears

i lean on your shoulder

you lend me your ears

sometimes i think

you see through me

many times i think

you see more than there is to see

so i capture my affection

in the stories i tell you at night

and you penned yours

on the ten-paged letters you used to write

you believe in me more than i do myself

and sometimes i question if i deserve all that

but when you say 'good job' and that you're proud

the doubts disappear somewhat

so to you, my person

i feel more than gratitude and love

if could just bottle up my feelings and offer it to heavens

it'll come as a downpour from above
