the happiest person in the world

I wish I was better at showing you
that you make me the happiest person in the world.
It would be nice to not have to write these shitty poems
as some makeshift apology every time I fuck up
because I know it's getting old, and it's getting on your nerves
just like I do more than I intend to, honestly
So, here goes. you make me the happiest person in the world
there is nothing I wouldn't do to make you smile
and it crushes me to know that tonight,
I'm the one who wiped the smile off of your face.
If only I could find the rewind button
so I could fix the mess that I keep making
because goddamn it, I just can't get it right
I want to give you the world
I want to see your eyes light up with a happiness
that no one else has yet witnessed
I want to be the one you kiss goodnight
and wake up to every morning; I dream of it.
the bed is too big without you dreaming beside me
come home. come home to me
fill up your side of the bed and kiss me goodnight
Mitchell. you are the most beautiful person I have ever known
holding you fills me with the most overwhelming sense of joy
and loving you is my greatest achievement.
there aren't enough apologies in the universe to fix the perpetual mess i make
but i'm trying. i'm trying with every ounce of my being to make things okay.
i am trying with every part of me to make you as happy as you make me
i am trying to make you the happiest person in the world.
