Love is a transcending force–beyond this world's bounds it creeps through the crevices of your soul, staining your heart forever.

Love can give you more than you could fathom: joy, happiness, fulfillment. Yet what is so beautifully extraordinary about love, is that it is also capable of the worst kind of soul ripping sorrow unlike any other.

To love, is to make a promise to another, and yourself, to always acknowledge within you to respect the capability of it's power.

It is not something that can be discarded, or forgotten, which is why losing love is a reminder of a reality you never thought possible, or imagined...it is greater, a fleeting reality as sublime as dreams.

Nothing in my life ever lasts
but I need you to
because I didn't even know
what home felt like
until you fell asleep in my arms.
I can see entire galaxies
inside of your eyes
and they're swallowing me whole
but I won't fight it
because you make me feel
like an astronaut.
I want to get lost
in the constellations
that you are made up of.

Last night
I fell asleep
imagining my arms
wrapped around you,
thinking of how sweet
your sleepy kisses
would taste.
Last night
was the first night
in over three weeks
that I slept soundly.
