going going wild in you you know

Bodies twisting forming fitting Silent shiver slipping fingertips There is nothing you can say to push that heart away There is only the wind and the moonlight and the stars and ourselves stretching filling breathing sighing Empty and vast and the colors fill our eyes until we are drunk of them Our air is caught between our lungs in the sky somewhere mysterious and behemothic and dark And the taste of each other on our lips makes us smile I believe I believe I believe I have been dreaming of the sky all my life And now I can see it in your eyes There are moons and stars and universes and it scares me Because it makes me small It makes me nothing You hate that there is something broken in my smile And even if you don't say it it kills you inside When I turn my cheek I see the slip in your grace and the twitch in your fists Because I know you can see through me And it kills you inside I swim in the ocean of your eyes And I feel the cool water drip down my throat and your touch And you brush the scars away Until I am whole
