your voice was running short
your breath growing raspy
and you couldn't speak any more
but I hope you saw me in your dreams, darling

I hope you thought of me
in your blissful escape from reality
even if it was only temporary
I hope I crossed your mind
even for a short time

love is the kind of feeling you get
when your feet are struck by the rolling ocean
and your arms are wrapped around the boy you've always cared about
the feeling you get when your hands are hovering over a bonfire
                    and it looks so alluring, you want to touch it, wrap yourself in it, submerge your being
                    in all that it is
but you know that you can't
because it would hurt far too much

love is the greatest risk and the biggest comfort of all the world
it's a leap of faith and a step too far
it hurts
but you don't care
because its so
beautiful

take my sadness
take my woes
hold me close
and don't let me go
kiss me softly
and tell me how
it feels to love
a broken girl

and the way you toss and turn
so elegantly in your slumber

your lips half open
and i just

loving her was like the first cup of coffee
on a saturday morning
sweet and divine
and nothing short of perfection

it was surrounded by endless birdsong
and delicate snowdrops
and frozen fingertips, clinging to one another
for warmth and protection

the closeness that can only be described
as something that is more extraordinary
than anything in the movies
or your dreams

a sense of belonging that you can't find
anywhere but her
her heart my home and her mind my
safety, away from the harm of the world

a soul so beautiful
my old romantic poetry books couldn't
even begin to compare
to this

she was perfect
                    she is perfect
I loved her
                    I love her

enchanted by the way
you held your hands together
so shy and nervous
even for such a beautiful soul

plummeting harder than could
ever be imagined
for you
and your subconscious doings

the way that you bit on your nails
when you had to speak out
and how you always had a lighter
but didn't smoke

and you always wore a smile
and behind your bright blue eyes
there was always more to tell
that would never escape your lips

words stuck on the tongue
never quite making their way out
and a smile so delicate
that held a lifetime of secrets

the vastness of a mind
as beautiful as your own
never ceases to amaze me
and make me wonder about the world

rain poured down
at 3am
and all I could do
was smile
and it's true when they say
that it's the little things in life
that bring you real joy
the soothing sound of something else
falling as hard and as fast me
