A faded mirror,
My eyes adjust,
And move within her.
A beating heart,
Breaks through my chest.
The softest skin,
The softest touch.
She lays so peaceful,
A slight exhale,
Her warmth transcends,
My selfish skin.
As each breath falls,
It becomes more clear,
Life is perfect,
When she is here.

Hello 
I wrote this about waking up next to my girlfriend and how lucky it makes me feel. A little mushy...
Not my usual style... but it was fun

Thank you

Hahaha it's a little but more than just "a teeny bit mushy" it is approaching "major mushy" territory.
Hence why I refuse to show my girlfriend haha. -
-
I could never show my boyfriend my mushier stuff either, he'd prolly have loved it, but my feminist side was just far too strong

Hahaha, mine would get awkward and embaressed about it.
God, I hate awkwardness. Worst thing ever. -
-
I tend to create awkwardness without even trying...
I'm mega special
♥ -
-
Hahaha me too, thats why I'm so scared of it
-
-
awww--
it's okie... I'm clumsy & awkward...
it only gets better...you have it easy really
♥ -
-
hahaha you think you're clumsy! I'm a lanky clutz
-
-
I bent down at work today to pick up a pen, and ended up on the floor and spilling a drink over me.
I'm ridiculously clumsy
♥ -
-
Hahaha sounds very much like something I'd do
-
-
I wasn't impressed, jeans were soaked and I was just there like...hii..I'm going to hide down here behind the till for a litle longer lol

Awe, I'm glad that you entered, hun.
And this is super cute. (:
Ahaha.
You should definitely give this to her.
I'd love it if my boyfriend gave me something like this.
"A beating heart,
Breaks through my chest.
The softest skin,
The softest touch."
"As each breath escapes,
It becomes more clear,
Life is perfect,
When she is here."
Those two stanzas were great.
They helped show your point perfectly.
I liked the rhyming, it was subtle but nice.
I really have no problems with this.
(:
Nice job,
thanks and Good luck! <3 -
-
Haha Thanks

Thought I should enter one of your contests!
I might give it to her... but she isn't one for mushy things like this. I would probably make her vomitt haha.
She's fantastic
Have fun judging!
