unconditional love was something I found from a world away
the feeling of a counterpart within
finding my perfect north
the person I'd been looking for
& learning to open and trust
breaking down all the barriers I had so carefully placed from a life filled with abandonment, she came with black hair and skin as soft as the front side of a blanket
showing me that all the pain that had built up in me over a quarter of a century was worth fighting through
showing me that not everything in this world is dull and dreary
showing me that it is possible to trust another with my insecurities
showing me beauty, in all of its glitter and gold
I vowed to never let this feeling go away
to never let her out of my heart
we said forever, and forever is what I thought
but is forever just a word rather than a period of time spent together?

If you were the sky
Then I'd be the sea
And when you shined bright
It would reflect in me.
When you're at rest
Then I am steady.
If you wanna get rough
I'm always ready.
Past closing at the bars
If you show me the stars
I'll open right up
And cast them out far.
And on the darkest night
If you won't shine a light.
Then I'm silent alongside you
Until you feel right.
We'll meet at the horizon
Where lovers will stare
And wonder with passion
Why they can't meet there.
And you'll share me a kiss
As bright as two suns.
When they meet in the middle
I'll know the days done.
And I can tell that's your way of saying to me.
Goodnight my love.
If you were the sky and I were the sea.

And, best of all
                 neither you
                        nor I
        have the slightest
    desire to move
