If you don't like mushy stuff then turn away

This post is dedicated to my Adrian… because he is lovely.

On one of my good days, Adrian
Inspires me to be the best I can
At everything
Makes me sing loudly in the car alone
With passion
Whether it sounds good or bad…
Makes every love song seem painfully romantic
And every stranger’s embrace
Seem sweeter.

On one of my good days,
I can see through every moment that Adrian loves me
More than anything
I feel that someone, somewhere
Or maybe karma
Has agreed to let me be happy for the rest of my days
And beyond
Because we are never apart.

On days when I’m average, Adrian
Makes me feel more than that
Tells me I’m his shufflebum
And makes me shuffle to make everything better
Lets me sing
Beside him in the car
And tells me that he likes listening to my voice.

On one of my bad days
I feel like I need to spend
Every waking minute alone with him
Before some unanticipated force
Steals him away.

But mostly I have good days
When I simply can’t describe
Or show
How big my love is
Staring into you
Can’t understand how anyone else
Can be as in love as we are
Even though we know they must be.

When I know
That the stars could fall from the sky
And tears can drip from my chin
(As they are now)
And karma
Or someone
Or something
Will keep us together
Because I simply couldn’t
Be
Without you.
