you’re so good, if I could say it right.

if I could 

i’d line up 

every star 

just to see 

if their brightness 

could even come close

to the glimmer your smile gives off. 

if I could 

i would walk into the ocean 

weigh down these pockets 

with the compliments and sweet nothings

i can never manage to quite get right 

and let the currents take me far from the shore.

if I could 

i’d caress your face 

take in those deep, sweet rich eyes 

and see eternity just there for the taking.
