What You Are

by Justinpdrew

The truth is,
You are not the reason for my desire to move out to California.
No, that position is held by moviemakers and producers
And a self-fulfilled prophecy waiting for fruition

What you are, my love,
Is the icing on the cake.
The grease on the wheels.
You are my motivation.

You are the catalyst of every stray thought
Every time my mind wanders West, there you are
Standing with flowers in your hair
And that smile, beaming

You are standing next to me on red carpet lines
On film sets, in trailers and backstage rooms
Holding my hand as my nerves get to me
Whispering inspiration into my ear

Building me up like only you can do
Making me feel wanted, needed,
Making me feel attracted, and attractive
Making me feel alive like only you have done for the longest time

What you are
And what I hope you will be
Is the rock that grounds me
My calm in the eye of the storm

I'm certain this time.
I know what I want
I know how I want it
And I will move mountains to get to you.
