I’m scared I’ll love you forever
I’m scared I’ll love you forever,
That in every person I meet
I’ll be searching for your eyes
Listening for your laugh
I’ll say your best joke
And they won’t get it
They won’t ever get my coffee right
They’ll drive slow
And wake up early
They won’t listen to the same song three times in a row
Or eat cereal at 2am
I’ll think of you every time I pass your street,
Our favorite restaurant,
The parking lot we’d meet at,
The campground we slept at,
The park where I met you,
The backroad we almost wrecked on
I’m scared I’ll love you forever
But I’m terrified,
That I’m okay with that
One thought on "I’m scared I’ll love you forever"

This poem hurts. In a great way of course. Repeating the first line in the last stanza was a great decision to bring the poem back around. Nicely done.
