My Significant Other - Poem

In this era, you say you have a boyfriend and it sums up the entire relationship

But that name is everything that falls short of what I am hoping

I want to know when he is not okay even when I hear his laugh across the room

To be the first I call when my world rises or fall

To love everything about him, even those I hated in others

For when he calls my name, I melt

Cringe I know! but its better that than the typical


I want a man who knows I’m the toughest woman he is ever met

Who will understands "yes, I am fine” as I am not fine

Who knows that when I am lifting heavy objects is when I want my arms to hurt and not my heart

To know that unsaid I love you is the loudest I have ever been

That I am what life made me and what I made out of my life

That I am my truest self in my head, and when I look at him every fiber of imagination does not even compare.

That in all eras of history, no name comes to mind to what I am looking for

So I gave no name to it, only yearned for it

To kiss that person and know we were born for each other

Our galaxies beautiful on their own and universal when we held hands.


How do I describe that what I mean has no words

Yet the it must exist

For I am the half of it

It’s not what will leads to something

Or what ends in death

It is what shall remain when none of us are no more

That one look at me and he will know that we don’t need to understand it,

But only live it

That what time and space can’t grasp

Our spirits will engulf and our souls will become.
