ALL

By Arianna Meyer

He loves her more than she knows 

His actions may be subtle and small but they are genuine and true 

Without saying it, she still amazes him

Her beauty, class, strength, success takes his breath away 

No matter how many times she lets him down the love doesn’t run out 

although it is almost clearer then water her loss of effort

It’s like when your sitting on the beach

The sun soaking your skin, you feel it setting in

You thrive off the thought of your crisp skin

But then a cloud comes and desperation sets in

you crave you beg you desire you implore the rays 

You fidget back and forth as your goosebumps consume your body 

But then… all of the sudden

Your eyes become as thin as paper

Your body is hugged by warmth and you, you are at peace 

He will crave beg and implore 

He will fidget back and forth as loneliness consumes his body 

Then… suddenly

He will never receives what he truly deserves 

How could love be a one way street?

He is forced to put his energy into something else 

brains, beauty, and brawn

New love he has found

Somewhere to give those subtle but genuine actions 

And receive even just a smile back 

Somewhere to evoke laughter to receive his dose of pride 

with every move he makes and every breath he takes it is for them 

Will he ever know how much they appreciate it 

Does he know they notice every thoughtful thing he does 

Is he aware that he holds the most special spot in their hearts 

I wish nothing more then to pay him back in all he gives 

Make him proud, make him laugh, give him a reason to smile

how to repay someone who deserves it all, is the million dollar question 

With all my heart and all my being, I adore him
