I'm usually good with words, but you took them all away.
The raw desire I have for you surpasses every feeling I've known.
The second our lips met, thousands of thoughts erupted in my brain.
Then, only one thought remained; it was you and I.
Us against the world.
In that moment, I knew what it was to feel again.
You've given me that.
I gave up on everyone & found my own happiness.
You made me believe in people & in love.  
I realize now that you add to my happiness.
At first, I kept trying to push you away.
I guess that was some pathetic attempt to postpone my vulnerability.
When I simply couldn't push any longer, I let the feelings envelop me.
Even though uncertainty plagued every moment, I knew one thing;
I wanted every part of you.
Even the things I could never anticipate.
Every silly moment when you bite my face.
Every deep thought about existence or purpose.
Every unspoken "I love you" that beams from your eyes.
Every confusing brow furrow when you're lost in that beautiful mind.
Every dramatic outburst and expression of passion.
Every lazy day we lie around in bed for hours.
Every seemingly insignificant part of you captivates me.
You're everything I want.
You're all I've ever wanted, but didn't know was real.
I never thought you'd come into my life, but I'm forever grateful you did.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, my dear.

We say I love you
A thousand different times
But so much more is said
When your eyes meet mine
I feel the drumming of my heart
Sometimes that's enough
I write words of hope for others, yes
But, truth be known
It's also for myself
The sanguine, the passion
It's mostly for me
You see, I hate all that I am
All that I was
All that I am becoming
I hate it
So I write
I write what I feel
Not what I am
I write what I wish were true
I write what I long for
I write because if I didn't
Tell me, who would?
I'm sharing what helps me with all of you
I lie awake in thought
A fractured shell of what I once was
Thinking about what could have been  
Thinking about what never was
Contemplating what I want in life
I now realize it's simply you
But I also know that's what I can't have
I'm going to live in discontent
I'll never find someone I love like you
I'll have to love someone else differently
Maybe the next person I love will finally be me
Oh it was good back then
Let me begin by saying
It was good
and never again
I was afraid to step outside
I never committed intellectual suicide
I never prayed but for myself
He needed more help than love or wealth
It was good then
I didn't know much
I couldn't feel pain
Or pain as such
But pain for pain's sake is the beginning and end
Boredom only after to boredom will lend
I was afraid yes of everything
And anything that said my name
For fear of nothing has fear to blame
Oh but once again
It was good back then
I wanted more and more I got
And with pride and faith and love forgot
Still I went with a bleeding heart
Thinking I should play my part
And be a part of life as an uneasy act
With numbed awareness too dull to react
Feeling nothing but for tomorrow's wake
Nothing there but for tomorrow's sake
And knowing better I know not how
But to be and be me right now
And knowing better later once again
Sighing softly," it was good back then"
Foreign emotions
Unwelcome thoughts
Cynical humans
Knuckled bones
Tempestuous relationships
Hardened hearts
Imprisoned potential
S*landerous tongues
