Lucky

Lucky is the person who holds you close

and protects your heart like it's their job,

like it's their only job.

Lucky is the person who dances their thumb

across the top of your hand,

who causes that lovely laugh you

hate so much.

Lucky is the person who sees you as radiant,

a beacon in the sky,

the center of their gravity.

Lucky is the person who can tickle your toes,

who can make you pancakes

even though

you prefer waffles.

Lucky is the person who can make you feel

as breathtaking as you really are without

saying a word from their mouth.

Lucky is the person who caresses your unguarded

heart on nights like these, nights

with loneliness building it's wall,

it's habitat because I know that one

time you almost let the loneliness get to you but

trust me when I say that lucky is the person

who makes you see that you have purpose and

potential because you are intelligent and brave

and you are worth so much more

than you give yourself credit for.  Lucky is

the person who makes you see

that nothing is as scary as we make it out to be

because one time you called me and I was asleep

and I should've answered because lucky is

the person who gets to pick up those late night calls

and hear your cracked voice on the other end and

they are lucky

to hold you close and whisper in your ear

everything I'm dying for you to hear because

lucky is the person who can love you senselessly

and listen to s****y music on late night drives with you and

cherish every moment cause even though

you hated when I sung along, it still made you laugh and

embarrassing myself for your enjoyment is

more than I could ask for and lucky is the person who can

walk in your shoes and take you to lunch

and make you feel as special as you truly are.

Lucky is the person you finally let in.

And I wish I have the chance to be this lucky person

but I am already lucky enough

to have known you.

Best line EVER!!!!

Nicely laid out poem, at first I thought that it was going to be a "funny love" poem, but after the first four stanzas, you switched to something more serious and heartfelt! Super cool! Keep on writing
