This Will Never Finish

I want to be your inspiration
Much like you are to me
I don’t want to add to your confusion
Or be a crossed out day on your calendar from last week
I want to be your laughter
And the one that makes your sentences complete
I don’t want to be that awkward moment on the morning after
No, I want you to stay with me
I want to be your favourite sweater
And the coffee that warms your body
I don’t want to be an unfinished thought
I want to be everything that makes you happy
I remember being told that I will one day love another
So much more than I could ever love myself
And that one day I would give my heart to that person
And never think of giving it to anyone else
You are my paper and you are my pencil
You are my brush and my imaginary stencil
In one way or another
Every word and stroke forms you
I’ll never finish
I’ll never cease
I believe that you and I will forever be
These words will never end
These paintings will never dry
This story will never stop
Just like you and I
I want to be your everything
I try; you know I try
The times will keep multiplying
From the first time I heard you say
“You can stop trying
You’re my everything, you’ve always been
Believe that okay?”
I believe you.
