the sound of waves crashing wakes me up, joeys arm is wrapped about me firmly and i move the piece of hair from his face 
                          
i look at the tattoo under his eyes, i hate when he covers it up when he used to go to meetings.
                          
flashback 
                          
"i like your tattoo" i look in his eyes, his looking deep into mine, "what does it mean" i ask 
                          
he laughed, "you don't know what lust means?" 
                          
"i don't" 
                          
"it means a very strong sexual desire" he whispered in my ear, goosebumps all over me, his hand on my waist steady 
                          
"i think i have lust for you" he smirks 
                          
end of flashback 
                          
it's crazy how far we came together, from the street, to the bar, to my bed, to starbucks, and the pizza place that was open at 4 in the morning 
                          
i trace my finger over the tattoo on his arm, it was a dagger through a rose. i love the way his skin feels 
                          
i wanna touch all his tattoos and know the meaning behind all of them, i still cant believe he got a tattoo with my name, i got one with his too but i never thought joey would get one with my name 
                          
this moment was perfect, the window was open and the sun was shining on him and the sounds of waves crashing against each other making this moment even better. 
                          
his arm tightens around me and i squeal, he was still asleep and i hope he won't wake up, i want to stare at him sleeping, i always get rest when i'm with him 
                          
fuck i love him 
                          
even though he's very protective but i love it. i love how jealous he gets when other guys stare at me or even breathe the same air as me.
                          
he can be messy at times too but it's because he never had anyone in his life, no mother, no father, no siblings, just friends. friends that made him who he is
                          
i love my baby with everything i have, i'm so glad to see how he's changed over time. he went from making me sleep outside to letting me sleep in the same bed as him 
                          
i love the person he is, so strong and so considerate, considerate most of the time. hes not perfect but to me he is, i love his dimple, i love his eyes, his smile, his personality, he's everything i've always wanted and he's mine.
                          
only mine
                          
now i want him to wake up so i can shower him in kisses and hug him as tightly as i can, cuddle with him on the couch as we watch sponge bob or we can even go to the beach today
                          
i play with his ear and i find myself thinking what would've happened if i never met him... i would've finished school, maybe have had another boyfriend, i sure as hell wouldn't have the tattoos i have
                          
"you're staring" he whispers and i focus on his lips
                          
i smile and his arm around the bottom of my waist tightens, pulling me closer to his chest
