You make my heart...

you make my heart beat too fast

a smile springing irrationally from my lips

                teeth showing and all

who the hell am I smiling for?

                its 2 in the morning, and you’re on the line

                               

I’m feeling alive

this is what living is right?

 

Feeling light headed, but with food in my stomach

                you’re helping me keep everything in check

I am surviving all of this.

 

And

                                I am okay.

Perfect.

                and it isn’t the kind of okay

           where I just say it to

                           keep the worry from your eyes.

                I am okay. Fine.

                                Really.

You’ve helped me find some sort of steady line

to rely on. I am not drowning here. There is

more than enough air in my lungs.
                                enough love in my heart.

With your voice still warm in my hea[rt]d

I smile impractically, this is me feeling sane.

                there is in fact a quietness that has

fallen over me.

                a calm that is calling me steadily

                                closer to sleep,

           to dreaming of this weekend

                                of dreaming of feeling that part of me come home

 

And I miss you

                so much that it is almost senseless

                                But..

                      I know you’re feeling the same thing.

 

 

With a smile wide on my lips,

                my heart  beating warmly

                                and my eyes blurring with sleep.

I say goodnight.

I love you more

                than a hundred goodnight poems

                                could ever explain.

You're amazing with descriptions like these. As I've said before, I couldn't have described feelings like this any better, even with feeling them often.

Very, very wonderful :]

This is my favorite part:
