I’m in the quiet now
waiting on your arrival
butterflies
all delicate I suppose
that’s not
how I think of you though. 
I’ve put everything on hold
focused on delivering
my clear concise message
that only you could know. 
The quiet solitude
that set time apart
my mind has settled
I honestly am excited
to see what time has done to you. 
Seeing you last night
I’m even more drawn
the soft edges
are cut harder
just a little harder now,
it’s something I prefer
self-help and healing
making this better version
of the girl
I fell in love with
when the skies opened up 
and down-poured. 
This is a new year
we’re sure
to have a hundred more
because growing up 
next to you
is my pleasure source. 
My words sometimes 
get yanked away
in a breathless 
kind of way
I know you’re my choice
I’m so very glad I waited
to see you now.
