PULLING YOU CLOSER

© RYAN GUILEY

Inside the room is a large crowd,
As you stand out, being proud,
Your lips are moving as you talk,
So, I approach you with a fast walk.

Just being beside your elegant figure,
Makes my world a whole lot bigger,
Every time I look into your eyes,
Everything is alive and nothing dies.

I grab your hand, pulling you closer,
As I abruptly awake, looking at your poster,
I was dreaming of that upcoming day,
Just to hear your sweet voice say.

“Ryan”, with your smooth greeting,
As our hearts are rapidly beating,
Just one inch from your pretty face,
Holding on tightly in that special place.

I keep praying and holding onto my faith,
Just like in 1998, the day of March 8th,
Where you told me the best thing ever,
Being my girlfriend, as I knew you be forever.

I recall that day, turning the street corner,
Being so certain, and not lost like a foreigner,
Officially as a couple, while snowflakes drifted,
Thanking God, for giving me someone so gifted.

The feeling of happiness and floating so high,
True love, is what defines us, as I get butterflies,
It only gets better, creating remarkable children,
Our son Nolan, our daughter Ciara, and baby Dylan.

It will happen, where I will see you once more,
Being a family, the ones who I most care for,
Even though we spent so many days apart,
Just another letter written from my true heart.
