Description
i once said, listen up,because here's the way
it's going to work:
there will be milky ways
and mountains and clouds
dancing with rain,
the sun won't quite
look the same, and the moon
won't seem so dull.
i once said, come closer,
because there's something
that you need to know:
at night we'll breathe
against each other, move
with each other,
and our delirious melodies
will wake the waves
and shake the stars.
i once said, stay here,
don't go, never ever
leave me:
but here i am now,
eating my words
from a silver platter.

You used to be my favorite dA poet and you stored all of your most beautiful poems. That's a shame, I was going to show my wife. I wish you wouldn't do that, there's no functional purpose I can think of worth veiling your work. Anyway, I am thankful nevertheless for having known your work even if it was long ago. I accidentally found this page today - several years later.

This is beautiful as always Bailey!!
And it couldn't have appeared on a more perfect day in my inbox! I've used certain words, phrases, and things you also used in your poem that I've used quite often to describe a certain person...and this poem worked so perfectly to finish my day!!
Thank you so much, my dear for posting more of your wonderful writings! I just wish people werent willing to steal it so we could still read all of it.

I like the poem, but if I may be so bold to ask, what is the purpose of not capitalizing your "I's".

it's a stylistic choice ^^
