I am always happy
when I'm with you
I Love you like I'm not,
Which is to say
I've always known
love as congruent to pain.
smiles lasting only moments
Melting like snow
loving you is not like that
you are endless evergreen
your laughter is a bubbling happiness
magic is a concrete thing
our play is immortal childhood
it's believing in the triumph of good
And I don't know
how to do things like that.

In my life silence has never been comphortable
Quiet has always rang like a gong in my mind
Letting worlds break their bonds and flood
like dam breaks far above desert towns
You make the silence focused, useful
with you nearby words come easy
nothing is lost, overpowering
I'm not sure what I'm saying
but you are being on fire
and not burning
