You fall
you rise
you make mistakes
you live
you learn

You're human
not perfect

You've been hurt
but you're alive

Think of what a precious privilege it is
to be alive-
to breathe
to think
to enjoy
and to chase the things you love

Sometimes there is sadness in our journey
but there is also lots of
beauty

We must keep putting
one foot in front of the other
even when we hurt

For we will never know
what is waiting for us
just around the bend

I no longer believed
in the idea of soul mates
or love at first sight

But I was beginning to believe
that a very few times in your life
if you were lucky
you might meet someone
who was exactly right for you

Not because they was perfect
or because you were
but because your combined flaws
were arranged in a way
that allowed two separate beings
to hinge together

it's hard not to
fall in love
with someone

when
they see the
mixed up parts of your
soul.

when
it's four a.m.
and they all
because
the know you're
not
asleep.

But you don't understand
I'd give you everything I have
I'd dedicate every piece of love in my body
Just to have the guts to tell you
That I am weak
And you are strong
I am the lowest of lows
And you are the highest of highs
You make the sunrise bright
And the sunset slower
You send shivers down my spine
And I can't breathe when you say my name
All I can do is take you in as you come to me in a blur of words
So I sit for hours in end trying to figure you out
But you are too beautiful for my understanding
And I am selfish and miserable
But I will never tire of this
You are rooted too deeply in my system
I couldn't get you out even if I tried
And it's been a privilege
To feel my name roll off your tongue and onto mine
And the taste has found a way to stay
Even if you didn't

I don't know
where I stand with him

And I don't know
what I mean to him

All I know
is that every time I think of him
I want to be with him
