You give me honey and chocolate


You bring me sunshine in a vase

Just because

You talk to me all night

You laugh with me until we hear the birds

Even when you know you’ll suffer the next day

You stay with me

You make love to me so that I’ll dream

I dream of puppies and Christmas and family

Friends and oranges, a garden and fairy wings

When I wake up you say “Good Morning”

And it’s like the first time I realized I love you

Sometimes I want to say it, but the words get stuck in my throat

You amaze me everyday

And I wish the whole wide world could meet you

You make everyone around you glow

You listen to them, you care

So why me?

Why, when you could, when you should, have the whole world

Why did you pick me?

You call me beautiful and I believe you

I feel so beautiful with you, in your eyes I blossom

I feel so full and warm and silky in your arms

Like love itself. And I leave you every morning feeling stronger

You held me when my world crumbled

And you saw the light when I couldn’t

You showed me out at sea, and with you I found it

And my world came back into focus

Better than before, and even though I bear some scars

You never once looked at me differently

You stayed with me when I cried

You stole my tears and shaking

And replaced them with a calm

A calm I’ll never have inside myself

A peace that exists only in you

You laugh with my friends

You hug them and comfort them

You accept forehead kisses and fairies

Magical circles and yoga

And it’s like breathing, and they adore you

You love my mom

She is more than my mom, she’s like my twin

And you understand, and you care for her

She wishes you were hers, her son

Her North Carolina, sweet funny son

Her second child, because she loves you too

And you just walk around like that, unaware

Not understanding or knowing how you touch people

How happy you leave them, how you make their lives better

You deserve dolphins and fireworks, kisses and James Taylor

Vacations on mountain tops and a valley covered in rainbows

A meteor shower in Tennessee, kisses in the rain

And a sweet old man there to remind you that it still happens,

And a pounding heartbeat one to the other

When I run to you because I just have to kiss you one more time





So thank you for making magic with me



And I love you Mitchell Lee Campbell, more than I could ever say
