N.P.P. Poem by Kate Nielsen

It is possible to love you. It is possible for you to love and be loved. But it is hard to love you. So hard that it's easy. So hard that it's impossible to not love you. It get's bad, we both know this, and when it's bad, it's bad, so bad I get scared. Scared that you'll leave. Not just me, but this world. This entire world, to escape the one in your head. So you lay in your bed, and forget all the good that was said, to you, about you and you sleep. I hope that when you sleep, my monkey, you can escape, you can hide, or just ride on the wings of a better life. One that you can choose to have. I know you can't see it or you chose not to look, but your life is an open book, what you want, and what you need, you already have. Sometimes you see it, when it's good, it's good. I wish you could, see it always. I wish one day you'll wake up and it will all be over, no more bad spells, no more misery. If it comes or not, I'll always be here, I'll always be near. I'm yours to have, I'm yours to hold, you're more precious then gold, then diamonds, then the sun, then the stars and the moon. And you still ask me why. I try to explain but there are no words, just you. Your eyes, your smile, your skin, your arms, your love for me, which I know will grow alongside mine. Keep drawing that line, it's not over yet, I'll make you a bet, you will be happy. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, and the thought of this brings me sorrow. But you can grow, my love, taller then you think, don't let yourself sink. I wish you could see how I see you, because I know your world will change, because you changed mine, you changed me, and I am a better person because of you. I love you. Can you see it now?
