What's Important Poem by Imaanah Saleem

I'm thinking of You
And partly of me
Bound by thoughts of a future possibility
Wanting
So badly
To see it come to life
Baffled by a fantacy of what It would be like
For me to be made whole
With You as The Glue to keep me together
A pair joined as one
Tied by Nature
Fused forever
My imagination tends to go wild
And I work at cooling it for such a matter
Because I know all my imagining does is serve as a tease
Urging my wishes for time to go faster
I know that I must wait
And so
That's what I'll do
Still, for the countless seconds
And timeless moments
I'll be thinking of You
And also a little of me
Being sure to keep myself in check
Conscious of every thought, word spoken, and every step
Hoping that
In neither
I don't ruin any of my chances
That is, to be with You,
And instead be faced with the circumstances
That is, to be alone,
Filled with sadness and despair
Left with a sense of Your Presence
But for my words, You have a death ear,
That is not a fate I desire
The very thought of it makes me quiver
Faith is like the comforter I pull over me
Putting an end to my shivers
Trust tends to be my pillow
For when I become worried
It calms my head
Enveloped by the warmth of the two
While I rest upon patients
As I would on my own bed
Thoughts of You come while I dream
The only time where it seems easiest for me to let go
I allow You to take me on a journey
And like a breeze
The to of us flow
Then I awake
And the task becomes a trial
Which You kindly help me to face
The tight grip I have on other things
You work Your hands to help me break
One finger at a time
You lift
And with each,
I get a sense of relief
Allowing myself to become overjoyed
Until You remind me that I haven't completely released
It is then when I become saddened
Broken down
And filled with dismay
Feeling the bars of my imprisonment
Aware of all obstacles in my way
You clasp my wrists to calm my nerves
And it works
Because I am aware that You're still here
Assisting me in my endeavor
Giving me no cause to fear
I am then reminded of what's important
That is You
My One
My All
For I know that as long as You're with me
No condition can influence my fall
Through me, You bring forth strength
And with it, I aim to fight
Allowing You to help me
Release the hold on myself
Shifting my grip to Your Hands Of Might
I'm curious of how it would feel
To be rid of "I" for good
To know only You and me
In the status of marriage hood
For only a second do I allow the wandering
A brief cessation from The Reality,
Then I go back to thinking of You
And, perhaps, a little of me…
