Some kind of Crazy ******* Beautiful

We look back
So bright, so clear
We look forward and think we see
So much light
We do not see

To live to love to die
To be two in tow
A pair to die as one
I love my life like towing flower
In bloom in life in death

Gah! The love of my life!
Who put that there?

There are a lot of loves
But none of them are quite like our love
There are a lot of kisses
But none of them taste exactly like our kisses do
This may be cliche
But it is so undeniably true
I love you Adam

And my love is not defined or confined
By the expectations of others
Standards set before I set my eyes on you
Because in that moment
The moment I glanced your way
And my eyes lingered longer than I had expected them to
I knew

I knew that I could love you

And I do

It really hasn’t been that long
No, not all that long at all
Since you and I began
And I began to fall

But looking back I see
So much feeling so much fear
Fear that what I havn’t said
You have been unable to hear

So now for better or for worse
I will confess to you my thoughts
It might not be my smartest move
But please pardon all this verse

I used to think my life was good
And wonderful it was
I could not ask for anything
And indeed I seldom should

I used to think I knew happiness
Knew it well as any squirrel or bird
Knew it well as any free living thing
Rejoicing in this Earth

Yet knowing you has changed all this
Not even the sun could contest
The brightness in my pounding chest
Masked by an overwhelming shyness
But present nonetheless

You highlight the landscape of my life
With strange metaphors and charms
For surely if you were to be removed
I would be in a state of great alarm

My one true comfort in it all
Is that looking back I think
I see you looking back at me as well
