Worth. Poem by Douglas Goins

Worth.



In two seconds.
You caught my eye.
You placed yourself in my world.
And I saw you.
Through my eyes.
And no one else's.
Your smile shined.
The way the sun and rain reflex the rainbow.
You were worth the seconds.
In two mintues.
I knew your name.
One I will never forget.
It reminded me of the stars.
On a night with the one you love.
In complete darkness.
With only the stars to show you the way.
You were worth the minutes.
In two hours.
You took me there.
Showed me the place in your heart.
Where your dreams and nightmares rest.
Trusted me.
Knowing id never hurt you.
Telling me what made you who you were.
What chapter you were in the big book called life.
You were worth the hours.
In two days.
I knew you.
Everything.
From your first love.
To your first heart break.
What made you smile.
To what made you frown.
I felt you.
As my sunshine.
My sweet sunshine.
Warm and braceful.
A new flight.
Like Dancing.
Around and around.
Close.
Not afraid.
Safe.
You were worth the days.
In two weeks.
Our lips met.
Taser pulses went through me.
Fireworks.
Like on the fourth.
Angels clapped and played music that day.
Overwhelming the skies.
Making drops fall.
Bringing nature to life.
You were worth the weeks.
In two months.
I felt those two words.
In love.
In deep.
Deeper than were titanic sank.
Somewhere.
Where no explorer will ever reach.
Will never discover.
So deep.
We created something rare.
Not even the book of records could contain.
I tasted what we were made of.
You were worth the months.
In two years.
You wore all white.
I wore black.
We made a promise to commit.
To stand for another.
Through thick and thin.
Better or worse.
Till death do us part.
Never moving on.
Loving to be held in traffic.
And watch the cars pass forever.
Knowing.
We are ahead anyways.
Were we belong.
Like the text in a book.
Or keys on a keyboard.
Or cold with snow.
And heat with sun.
Complete.
Two as one.
We finished.
With two simple words.
To make it official.
You were worth the years.
