Worth It. - Sierra Kelley

This is exactly how I pictured it.


You and I,

In the warm, summery air.

We hide in the soft shade,

Escaping the unrelenting rays,

Of the white hot sun.



I subconsciously stroke

At your face and arms,

Not telling, but showing you

That you mean everything to me.

I can see a loving and adoring

Sitting beyond your eyes

As you look up at me,

And the corners of your mouth

Turn up ever so slightly

When I rest my head against you,

Because I’m too exhausted to

Hold it upright anymore,

I feel your lips,

Gently kiss at my hairline.

In an action that is described

As love.



It’s the little things,

That turn my stomach inside out,

Like that little moment,

When your hand is threaded through mine,

And your thumb begins to caress

Mine softly.

Instants like those are the ones

That really count,

And make me think,

Of how worth it, it all was.
