Present Tense

You allow happiness to permeate
my heart, my mind, my body
A foreign taste, yet absolutely
intriguing and comforting.
Despite the outcome, the odds against me,
The effect you have on me
is completely indelible.

For years my feelings mislead me
It took so long to open my eyes.
Blinded from the sight that had
been there from the beginning.
Now, intrigued with curiosity
and motivated by the thought of love
You perplex me, astound me
I believe that ‘you to me’ and ‘I to you’
I believe; too rigidly, too stubbornly,
And too attached

My mindset: ‘This only has the ability to last’;
Why? Because I have faith;
I still remain doubtless; certain.
I want this; I continue to want “us.”
Never to falter, never to be lost

Thoughts and emotions, created spontaneously,
Much to sudden to be accurate
My head, my heart can not wrap around
the concept that,
Your view is dubious; distrust in the outcome;
The future is uncertain
Present tense is more accurate,
The way I feel now is real
Despite obstacles, and reasons that prohibit
One fact remains concrete and genuine
My love is irrevocable and
In my future, I want you.
