You Poem by June Gray

when i look at my life
i see a glow
that's you;
you make me feel alive
reminds me of my mortality-
of my worry-
somehow i still feel godlike.

something in your eyes
god, it's divine
amazing
wonderful
i can barely wrap my head around it;
around you.

how'd this happen?
it feels so perfect
what if it's too perfect?
what if i'm swallowed by all that is you?
what if i'm falling too hard too fast?

something tells me to be quiet-
to enjoy this;
at the very least,
to savor you
jesus
what'd i do to deserve you?

maybe it's a honeymoon phase
maybe it's that look in your eyes
maybe i'm suspended in a dream
i've yet to wake.

i also know is-
life is cruel;
life is a thief;
if i have you…
i can't let life take you.

i want you here
i want you close
i want you mine
for a long, long time
i've learned not to hope in life
but god please.
this one time?
give me you,
at the least.
