Still -like space or gravity-

The way you lace wonderful words together

to form stellar sentences

leaves me {{ breathless.}}

You say the most heavy words, like it's effortless

and I am moved.

 

They slip gracefully

off

your

tongue

to rest in my marrow,

decorating my brainwaves and

bringing light to all my darkest places.

 

They meet me in my nightmares

and

lace their fingers through mine

like it's where they were meant to be,

...like they'll never leave my side again,

...like a promise.

 

And you know I believe in you so much,

(so much.)

But

mybed'sstillemptyeverynight.

 

And even though your words meet my eyes

After bouncing off satalites,

I can only thank them for traveling - so far - to

tickle my finger tips and

ed.

rn

tu

make the corners of my mouth up

 

They're still only meteors burning up

before

i.m.p.a.c.t.

(and they could never hold me)

 

But, my fingers will whisper a reply,

Give it a second to bounce around in space

(It may get distracted by a few stars on the way),

You'll still light up upon reading,

"I love you."

 

(even.badly.)

More of the same.

For Bryant - you make the thump-thump in my chest erratic

(ithinkilikeit).

 

"I believe in you so much, I could die for the words that you say."
