Iris

Nearly five years
Though it feels like a lifetime.
You amaze me everyday
Looking forward to the next.
Can’t get you off my mind
Though you barely know
I exist.
You own my heart,
Though you don’t seem to care.
Sometimes I think
The only reason why I love you
Is because I can’t have you
But I then realize
There are countless reasons
Why I do.
I never want anything to change
You are perfect as you are
Every imperfection
Making you all the more beautiful.
I love you because I can,
And I will always be there.
I hold out my hand
Take it when you need me.
I will always be waiting
Always protecting.
You have my heart,
How can I live without my heart?
