You Are Everything
A poem about a racing mind
You are everything, and you’ve taken up my life.
When I listen to a song, all I think about is how much you liked it the first time I played it for you.
When I open my phone, I hope that you’ve texted me or want to call me with some amazing news.
When I go to bed, I lose sleep thinking about you, because my mind can’t stop racing about the endless possibilities of us.
Whenever we’re together it feels like someone is pushing forward on the hands of the clock, speeding up time.
I could burn through hours with you, and it still wouldn’t be long enough.
I’m just grateful for every opportunity we have to spend time together, and I second-guess myself on every decision to make sure you’ve enjoyed it to the max.
I know we’ll have to split one day, but until that day comes, I’m perfectly happy to be living in the moment with you, and I don’t care what anybody else thinks.
You’ve taken up my life, wrapped little old me around your finger.
And I couldn’t be happier with you.
