my ultimate betrayal
to the one i love
is pushing him away

you are divine
my savior
i cherish you

love
love
LOVE
you

kissing you was easy
bliss
a firework
the realization

"this is just the beginning"
nothing will ever be the same

lingering, savoring
"what happens now?"

--------everything
----------anything

today
my peaceful river
reached a waterfall
i tumbled down
deep, deep
to the bottom

my sorrow
like the roaring noise
water's strength
water's howl

tomorrow
my river flows
wraps my mending heart
puts back in me
some hope

i see you cherish
i feel you loving

these things give me hope

for my tiny rebel heart

you can't be my craving
you have to be my constant
not something i am always
grasping for
reaching for more

you have to be
always inside
peacefully flowing

here
not here

with you
without you

joy
sorrow

can we be two things
at once?

dot
dot
dot

did i make it awkward
or did you?

-me
--always me

O divine lover
heart liberator
with magic in your eyes
and the purest of hearts

i don't deserve you

but i love you

i'm getting closer
to being OK
with keeping our love
in my pocket

the aurora glows
     shifts into shapes
     only my heart understands

things the heart knows
but words cannot tell

when stars fill the sky
when the waves crash
when you look into my eyes

and in the middle of the night
i woke
and heard the words
emerge from the darkness

"i love you"
was all that you said

but
that was all
i needed to hear
