I lie in wait for moments
That never come
The memories refuse to cease
Yet I have never been happier.
I wonder,
If this is what truly matters
And not as we are made to believe.
I melt
To this concept, rebellion.
I raise my hands in defeat
To the feeling
Of you.

I was eclipsed by you.
You came into my life
and extinguished the world I knew.
When I awoke from the dream,
I was transformed.
I opened my eyes and truly saw for the first time.
The blind, with renewed vision.  
A miracle, and no less.
I could breathe for the first time.
All weight was lifted from my chest.
Expectations and reputations, demolished.
I filled my lungs with you.
I inhaled your beauty.
I reached out my hands.
I could feel!
Oh, I could feel!
It was so real, it was magic.
I held you,
and so I held the world within my grasp.
I had only touched disappointment and lies
Before that day.
There was warmth,
You lit me on fire.
The ice thawed from my heart
And melted my walls.
I was free!
You were the one that found the key I had hidden.
I buried it beneath the earth,
Or at the bottom of the ocean,
But you found me.
You unlocked me from my prison.
I was eclipsed by you.
When the sun returned to its place in the sky,
The world looked completely new,
Under the renewed lights.

Nothing could ever compare to the beauty I saw
When you opened my eyes,
and I saw you seeing me.
The image is burned in my retinas.
And now, forever, I shall see you.
Never again to be blinded.
To Zach,
Thank you for freeing me from myself.
Thank you for giving my life purpose.
Thank you for showing me I am worthy.
Thank you for creating life with me,
A life soon to be born that will change everything, forever.
The most important being for the rest of our lives was born from our love.
These are all the things I never say.
I love you.
I love you more every day and it is never ceasing.
I love you.

A moment in time.
A single decision,
Never knowing where it leads.
Unable to discover,
That it has changed your life
Forever.
Until there is no return,
You are there.
You are permanently altered.
Never able to go back,
To the way things were before.
This is your life now.
For better or for worse.
You are married to your choices.

How do you explain a feeling?
How do you condense something so complex into a few simple words?
Words that have been used endlessly to describe the mundane.
Over reiterated and overexaggerated.
Words do not do you justice, but they are all that I have.
How do you define our love?
How do you explain our perfection?
How do you put pen to paper and write down the utter calm and comfort I feel in your presence,
And combine it with the passion we share that never ceases to burn?
How can I jot down every notion of a future that is truly unimaginable without you?
Let me try, anyways.
Call it a cliche or call it a classic.
I call it simplicity.
And with this,
Know:
I love you with all of my heart.
Take away the world, but leave me with you,
And still I would know happiness.
Give me the world, but remove yourself from it,
And I too would cease to be.
I love you with all of my heart.

I can't escape your eyes,
your cerulean gaze will follow me forever.
In every intractable stare,
I'm left paralyzed by the innocent.
I hope I know not of enmity.
I cannot bear the impending guilt.
They are innocent.
They must be born innocent.

Every melody that invades my ears,
I hear it in your voice.
I can veritably feel my heart break.
Once again, entirely over again.
If they echo you, could I bear it?
I have no other choice.
For they are a part of myself.
The most important part of myself.

*******, you're beautiful.
To me, you're everything.

My comatose
Is consuming me internally
Glowing on the outside
But there's a fire feeding on my organs.
I have never felt so alone,
Yet I have never been less so.
Little one,
Destroying a world that once existed
And creating for me all the while,
A brand new meaning, being.
I am terrified.
I am lost.
I am suffering.
Yet little one,
You are my purpose now.  
Giving up the one that I love,
For you.
For I shall love you my whole life,
And all other love is fleeting.
The guilt that I feel is unbearable.  
Yet all that I do is for you,
Little one.
I hope one day you know that.
Everything, everything,
Was always for you.
Time winds down.
Six months until I hold you.
I will never let you go.
I've said this once before,
To another.
Maybe you will call him 'father'.
Maybe not.
YOU
Are my angel now.
You are my angel,
Little one.
I will love you my whole life.
My tiny miracle.

I know you're out there,
thinking of me.
at night in your bed,
as pretty as can be.
The emotions pour out,
but the words they stay in.
In this fatal second we know,
the deadliest sin.

And these seconds tick past,
like the tears that fill your eyes.
As the liquid hits the floor,
this moment never dies.
Hollywood can't hold us back,
Hollywood can't hold us back.

The screaming begins,
as we swear never to let go.
But reality sets in,
our weakness starts to show.
And still you hold my hand,
but were starting to lose grasp.
We whisper don't lose hope,
but were going nowhere fast.

And these seconds tick past,
like the tears that fill your eyes.
as the liquid hits the floor this moment never dies.
Hollywood can't hold us back,
Hollywood can't hold us back.

And we still love so truthfully,
thinking dreaming on your bed,
your eyes as pretty as can be.
And today our bond withheld,
because Hollywood can't take you,
no Hollywood can't take you,
no Hollywood can't take you from me.

(I love you Mandy)
