Retrouvailles: A Poem

I usually can't find the words I want to say, but I think I've managed to write down most of them this time. To my boyfriend, this is for you.

Retrouvailles: A Poem
Hailey Moreira

I don't think I could ever

Tell you,

tell you how I feel

But I could try for

The rest of my life.

There is an average of 80 years

in a lifetime

There are 365.25 days

in a year


Each day has moments and

Those moments are dear

But not every one

Will be as sweet as

The kiss on your lips

That first day we met but

Maybe they'll be as addicting

As the time you kissed me

Like I was air and you

Were the only one breathing me

And it would be your last breath


And some moments will be

As bitter tasting

As the time

I cried and you watched and

Did nothing at all but spit

Words in my direction that

Could cut glass and I

Was as fragile as paper.


Nothing will ever be as

Perfect

As that first kiss

Under the lighthouse that

Forced the wind through my hair

And around your heart

As it pulled us together.


Time

Is just one thing

It may stop. It may go

And yet we cannot control it but

We can create our own time

Where only we exist.


To me, that's how it feels

Every single time my

Lips meet yours

Saying hello as they always

Find their way back to each other.


Those reunions fill my mind

And it's still always foggy but

It's filled with thoughts of

You. You. You.

And yet these moments

Are all for

Me. Me. Me.

No matter where

In this life we go. I can

Promise

It will remain

Us. Us. Us.


The people stop moving

As they pass by and

It's just us left where

We stand.

Ask anyone else

I promise they’ll say

My most spoken topic

Is my favorite.

You would think of

Many things but like always

It's you.


What about that very first night

Where I curled up close and

Your arms pulled me in

And I drifted off to

The sight of your smile


I don't recall any other time

Where I've seen anything as

Breathtaking

As you when you sleep

Both eyes shut

Open just enough

For me to know you’re dreaming.


I don't think that

Most people would know but

To me you are sweeter

Than all the honey

Any bee could ever gather.


You are my favorite book

I never want to finish,

But I know I can always

Reread it later.


Time with you,

Is all I want to spend.

Every single day

With my best friend.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
