As I layed there soaking up the smell of her skin,
I knew I'd found everything I was looking for.
I'm sorry, I know some of you believe it's a sin,
But everything is so right, I've never been so sure.

My body encased in the warmth that radiated from hers,
I've never felt happiness like this,
My soul is so content,
Like we had been connected long ago, two souls that became distant.

But now we are together,
And I've finally found my home,
No plans to ever separate,
Every part of me, she owns.

She's like the sun after days of rain, beaming down, making everything shine.
Everything about her entrances me,
Oh god, how my heart longs to call her mine.
My world will never be the same,
I can't believe how different it is this time.

She is what they talk about when they say you just know,
How everything falls into place,
Nothing else matters,
So happy I can't even sleep,
she's made me so,
Every expectation, I held, she shattered.

I've never felt safer in anyone's arms,
Her lips, as sweet as honey,
Her smile, every part of me warms.
Did I mention she's really funny?

Sorry, the best is taken now,
I've said all I can say,
Forever my mind will wonder how,
She's so perfect in every way.

When your arms were wrapped around me, I felt more beautiful,
With every kiss upon my lips, I slowly became whole.
You completed me, and I didn't even know,
Until one day you weren't there and the flowers within my soul ceased to bloom,
And suddenly, the emptiness was all I felt when I stepped inside a room,
When fall came around, how everything began to change,
But somehow, I seemed to remain the same,
Then winter brought a chill so cold, I longed for the shelter which came from your embrace,
And your eyes that brought warmth and made my heart race,
Spring's hopeful promise to make things new, yet the newness was still tainted with memories of missing you,
Summer snuck up on me,
The sun wiped the tears from my cheeks,
Dehydrating my body, reminding me of your love for which I am so thirsty for,
The salty water greeted my toes as I stood upon the shore,
Reminding me that no tide can ever wash away the pain that rested beneath my core,
Here's to wishful thinking, but I hope that one day you'll look back and regret leaving,
And realize that I was, in fact, everything you wanted and more.

Have you ever noticed how birds seem to fly to a melody unsung?
That the eyes seem to speak a stronger language than any that we've known?
How the stars keep their shine no matter the time,
And no matter how much time passes, our souls stay young?

Maybe you've never noticed the story your face tells in between the seconds it takes for me to say, "I love you"
And maybe you've never noticed the way I look at you like there's no concept of time,
The moments you cross my mind when there's no reason or rhyme,
Yes, maybe this isn't the place or time but how much time are we really guaranteed?
No, you'll never understand how much of me you've possessed,
How little time it took for me to become obsessed,
You'll never understand how much beauty I see when I see you fast asleep,
No words to describe how much you already mean to me.
But the truth is, no matter how much time I have with you, no time will ever be enough,
Because time brings limitations,
And its endings are too abrupt,
We are bound to it, enslaved by the mere idea,
No, it doesn't matter how much time passes or how old we get,
*There will never be enough words or time for you to understand a love which has no limits.

Two ears*,

Still, in silence,

I cannot seem to

Hear my own voice.

In your mind, you walk into the same trap, you never seem to escape from.

Chasing the things you wish for yourself, and they never seem to come.

You turn around and settle for mediocre things that do,

All the while, letting resentment and bitterness grow inside of you.

You envy those that seem to live without pain or care,

And you watch them as they stick their noses up at the sight of your stare.

You walk through life believing that for you, there's not a purpose,

Never listening to the people who say it's not true.

But you're so ignorant, in believing that all your worth is on the surface,

Even though, what's on the inside is what holds all your value.

After years of discontentment, you finally look within, and in your mind set free,

Realizing that acceptance of self was, in fact, the key to becoming the person you always wished to be.
