Long Story Short.

A Poem by Marina

"My smiles are an open wound without you." -Fob

Your smile is my air,

your voice is my breath.

Sometimes I try to convince myself its not worth the heartbreak when I see your perfect smile,

sometimes it works,

until I see you smile.

I love everything about you,

from your eyes and your face,

to the way you make my heart beat out of my chest,

from the unexplainable happiness in the air when you walk in the room,

to how I can't get your face out of my mind. . . even in unconsciousness.

I love your voice,

I love your eyes,

I love how you seem so oblivious to the the fact that I'm walking in hearts around you,

I love your heartbeat,my lullaby,

I love your imperfections.

Long story short,

I love you.

I didn't find it sappy or "cliche" at all. I thought it was good. I especially liked the "I love your heartbeat, my lullaby, I love your imperfections". The lullaby part was something I wish I had thought of myself for a poem I had written to one I love a long time ago. I think loving someone should mean loving every part of them not just the great smiles or beautiful eyes... and since we ALL have imperfections we'd be in real trouble if only loved for perfectness. Good job, post again soon, and send me a read request, I'll be happy to read more. Congrats on such a good write and good read. ;)

I don't think it was cliche
or even sappy.

'Sometimes I try to convince myself its not worth the heartbreak when I see your perfect smile,

sometimes it works,

until I see you smile.'

I love that.
