I've not been holding
the door for you since you left —
I burned the house down

The wisdom I have gained
Can fill many lovers' cups
With experience and lessons
With loss and sorrow
Pour my knowledge into them
How to love and how to talk
To listen and to feel
To never lose or yield
To hold what is precious
The wisdom I have now
Flows like a faucet
Where every lover shall
Never know the thirst
For one's touch
For one's kiss
To share a glass with another
To drink each other's love
Yet for all that insight
My own cup
Can never be filled again

I don't believe in love at first sight,
Because how can you love me
Without knowing my flaws ?

True love is when you love
Every scar in me,
Every imperfection.

Cause that's the beauty of love.
I want you to want me
With your soul,
Not just the heart and the mind.

I want you to crave me,
Get butterflies when I'm around
And ache when I'm not.

I want to feel home in your arms ,
Lost in your smile,
Where my troubles dissaper.

I want crazy love,
Where we’ll get washed by the rain
While dancing,
Where laughter grows louder
Than a crescendo.

I want us to paint our faces
With flour as we bake,
Messy hands,
Because love isn't perfect
It's messy and playful.

I miss your sweet amber eyes
It reminds me of the sun
Warming me with your sight

Wait

Were they ocean blue eyes?
Like a calm sea, drowning me
With so much love and admiration

No

They were green for sure
Precious emeralds that sparkled
A life and future I can see us in

Ah

They were hazel actually
A spectrum of ever-changing beauty
That memorized me so easily

Oh

I'm almost certain they were deep gray
Like a thunderstorm made out of
The passion we had shared

But

No matter how hard I try
I can't remember the last time
We looked at each other's eyes

We had a spark
That could light up a world
That spark between us
Was undeniable and intense
The electric fire
Can be felt and seen
The spark we made
It could have fused
Endless possibilities
I can remember how it felt
I can still see it in your eyes
Through our hands
Through our lips
But at the end of the day
That's all it ever was
Just a spark
And it became
Nothing more than that
