You

I have never been so inspired 
before my anything,
not a person, or thing, or even
an emotion.
Then, somehow, I stumbled upon you,
and I seemed to have found some
sort of inspiration.
One more reason for living.

Maybe it's the way you look at me, 
and your piercing eyes make me
feel like I am the most beautiful
person in the world, 
or at least to you....
But if I was beautiful,
only to you,
then nothing else would matter.
I might even be content with my
crazy life,
just knowing,
that in some way,
I mattered to you.

Or maybe it's the way you speak, 
with such confidence and grace.
You know what your heart wants.
You don't care how long it takes,
because you will sit and wait,
for her to find you.

Or maybe it's the way you move.
Taking in all life has to offer you.
Not caring if it is good or bad,
because you take a piece of each experience
with you.
And each time you experience
something new,
the fire in your presence burns a little brighter,
and I fall a little deeper.
