I keep thinking of you and me,
Me and you.
You say you love me,
I say I need you.
I should have told you instead that at night when am all alone,
I long for you to hold me.
I want to tell you that you're all I think about, but you won't believe me.
You think am using you as a lifeline to get through the pain.
You can't see that my every need is tied to you.
Loving you,
Being with you.
Making you mine.
I am a wreck without you.

I want to sob into your chest, tell you my hopes and dreams.
Have you next to me as I face my fears.
I draw my strength from you.
I want you to yearn to be with me, as much as am dying to be with you.
I am crazy about you, why can't you see that?

I want to sink into your embrace,
Kiss my breath, past and pain into you,
Draw in your history, pain and life,
share myself with you.
It's only you for whom I cry,
It's you my heart beats faster for.

There's a hollow in my chest from where my heart used to be.
An aching emptiness where you curled up and filled me.
You got up and took my heart with you.
Now I long to feel its beat against your chest as you kiss me.
Won't you kiss me one more time?
I want to feel the fire spread from my lips to my toes.
I want to press my body to yours.
I want to make you love me.
Will you love me?

Is love the ache I get when you're far away?
The smile that breaks upon my face when I catch
you looking at me.
The urge I get to kiss you when you meet my eye and catch your teeth between your lips.
I want to love you with my eyes, lips, body and soul.
Love you so you forget everyone that loved you before.
Take you on a trip you won't forget and tell you this is it, the beginning of forever.
To wake up next to you and watch you sleep.
To hold your hand when we have nothing to say and its enough.
I want to be with you everyday and know that I chose to be here.

I'm sorry,
Because you loved me when I couldn't love myself
And yet I could never do the same for you.
I'm not capable of loving everyone,
I want love, but only if I get to choose.
And you probably know,
I never chose you.
I'm sorry.

I wanted to write
something that could capture
the way you held me
when I was scared of the dark
but also scared of
the flashing lights
that lit false paths.
Words to express
how much I appreciate
you
and everything you've done for me.
For you hid me from death
and protected me
when I deserved much less.
Something to show the world
that in dark there could be light
and that that light
was you.

Dancing through the long hallway

Racing for the arched doorway.

Every day has an ending

Every night has a beginning.

It's hard to say all
of the right words
isn't it? It is never
enough...
