to the ones who matter the most

everyday that i have been with you..its been such an adventure..

filled with teeny-tiny ups and downs...

unending...unmarred joys....

inescapable...heart-wrenching regrets...

i owe you a part of my life...my destiny...my spirit...
you helped shape me...mold me into who i have become...
& for that...i couldn't thank you enough....

i hope you look out for me too...the way i look out for you...
i know you have...at different points in time...but i wish expressions of love and care were not so hard to come by...

because every time we fight...i know the emotion is real...but will you assure me that anytime besides that...you will all but love me so..?are you held captive by me..or are you captivated by me....that is what i often wonder....

i do not know where i am headed...my way ahead is foggy..
yet why do i sense so clearly..that YOU will rise higher?

my clarity becomes you...you are destined for great achievements...
let my aspirations and expectations for you never crumble...

you and i have reached a place...where there is nowhere left to go..
we are done altering our pace...adjusting our backpacks..choosing our path...
we finally know...for sure...that we are in this together...

no destination to reach...no direction to follow...
i just hope to god that we never turn back...

i love you for who you are...but more for what you make me...

you bring out the best in me...& for that...i cherish you more than anything else...
