I awoke to the waves of your blanket crashing over my body. The gentle sound of the morning breeze, birds singing outside your window, everything lost in a sense of calm. A serene feeling rarely felt in the normal world. Almost too still and unchanging to be recognized by the brain, like the receptors just can’t process this sort of feeling. Totally and completely relaxed.
We are the daybreak. We have everything, but have nothing. We are life. We are love.
I look over to my right and catch you at my favorite time. Still asleep, mind exploring other realms, other planets. Your body in this morning light shines with utter disdain to the evils of the world. Nothing can touch you, except me. I lean over and softly kiss your ivory skin, the blood rushing to the spot where my mouth is, leaving a soft blush under your skin. These perfect hues of beauty will always hold sway. Your freckles will guide me to your lips, the transmitters of passion. Sparking electrical currents to my heart.
We are the daybreak. We have nothing, but have everything. We are life. We are love.
Every moment here in the present seems all but too short. The conclusion arriving entirely too fast for anyone’s liking. Looking back, it seems to be a dream. Mind you, a dream worth remembering. So I fold it up and put it in my front pocket, it will come in handy for the days where life seems troubled and without hope. I will open it up and gaze like a map to the days where laughter filled our glasses to the brim and love destroyed any notion of the word “impossible”.
We are the daybreak. We feel everything, but have nothing. We are life. We are love.
Soon I’ll watch as you board that train and head up north. Watching your face through the window, you smile. You’re finally finding your path through this reckless world, and I couldn’t be more overjoyed. The only sadness lingering on my breath is from thinking about how I won’t be able to witness it. But, alas this is a selfish thought..Sometimes things just happen, things we never thought would happen. We wind up in a place and mindset where we don’t understand. So I’m glad you’re finding yourself, and I know you will be the happy and radiant girl that I fell in love with.
We are the daybreak. We have nothing, but have everything.
We are the night.
We are life.
We are love.
*-For you, Liz.
(may this find you where the map turns blue, and salty too)
I wrote this for a girl I have been in a five year relationship with. Well, she is moving out of state and we are being forced to be apart. Suprisingly, I have more hope than you would think about this. Happiness is hard to find, and I'm glad she's taking initiative to find it.
I just wish I could join her.
