A Love Note

I only asked you to sing for me

and you played me an orchestra-

these heart sounds went "lub-dub, lub-dub"

sometimes fluttered like a butterfly in my chest.

I only wished for you to write me letters

and you gave me more lines to read-

on the palm of my hands, on the curve of my neck, 

on my face.

I only requested you to paint me

and you splashed the colors-

all around, everywhere

on the sidewalk, in the sky, in everything I see.

I only wanted you to dance with me

and you took my hand, held my waist-

waltzed through the night,

and had this dance our whole life through.

I only hoped to be your muse

and you made me so much more than that-

you had me live through a hundred lives

to lose myself... and find my way back to you.

--Only you can break my sheer panic with awe at just how great you are. I can spend my whole life trying to understand how the human body works (and I will), but only you can engineer everything to work just the way they do. Some people call you the Universe, some call you Science, but to me, you are these and so much more. I call on to you with each breath and in every heartbeat.
