am i to you what you are to me

Poem

it started with us, a bottle, dim light,

babbling and laughing all through the night

we smoked on the rooftop and laid on my floor

two lonely children became something more

asleep on your chest, i was down for the ride

i dreamt of a future with you by my side

with airplanes and hotels and tables for two

a life of adventure, a life with you

six months of falling and words left unsaid,

six months of planning the words in my head,

six months of waiting, of dying to see

if i was to you what you were to me

then you said those words, and over me swept

a high like no other that i’ve ever felt,

the script i had planned was swiftly reversed

you said “i love you,” and you said it first
