love is something people try to describe over and over again
they write books and poems and songs about it
it's nothing, really- but it's everything
it's the sun and the moon and the stars, we all know the words
we've all heard them, but those moments
when you feel it, when you feel like the world
has its arms wrapped around you, when you know
God is holding you in His hand and stroking you with His thumb
suddenly, there are no more wishes left
there are no more eyelashes to blink away, no more shooting stars
no more holding your breath through tunnels.
Sometimes it's as simple as knowing you have a rock of a friend
sometimes it's as complicated as leaving home just to be with someone
it burns, sometimes; but it never freezes your heart, never
it's a breath on a wind, a slight reassurance when someone glances
your way just as often as you glance theirs. It's something you never
thought you'd have. Someone you never thought you'd have.
You're safe now. There's no need to be scared anymore.
