A prisoner in my mind,

wearing a mask like Foley's Mankind, 

living my life like a quarantined patient, 

my mind was racing,

I wrote equations in the mirror located in my basement, 

I lived my life like Nicola Tesla 

until that one fateful day when I went to a fiesta, 

when I was introduced to you.

 

I was nervous at first, 

for years I lived in a loveless curse, 

so I looked down at my Converse,

I didn't want to disperse, 

because my phone was calling and it was the universe, 

saying we were meant for each other. 

 

"Your eyes are beautiful" 

that statement was juvenile, 

but it worked. 

The conversation perked, 

and the time stood still,

"My name is Jill,

and I'm from Gainesville"

she gave me her number, 

I remember uninstalling Tinder 

when we began dating in December. 

 

She freed me from my prison, 

removed my Mankind mask, 

just by listening, 

she was up for the task,

she rebuild me, 

parted my sea of depression,

while I support her jam sessions.

When she was cold, 

I gave her my coat, 

I guided her when she was blindfolded,

and I put on her favorite "Mountian Goats" song. 

 

I will give her this ring,

to be the queen to my king,

because I love to hear her sing in the morning, 

like "Three Little Birds", 

everything is going to be alright,

shes my light, 

I can't wait to see her walking in her white dress,

like a kid waiting for recess, 

I professed to be with you,

to make you happy,

even when you're snappy. 

Because I love you, Jill

born in Gainesville, 

but forever located in my heart.
