The seconds seemed like hours

as we swayed back and forth to the song

blissfully

Your eyes painted my skin with ease

And you looked at me like you had known me

forever.

Never had I smiled so simply

And had someone cherish every crease and corner

lovingly

For even though, though all the pain and loneliness

we both had to endure, it was

for us

We had to become numb to pain

And our bruises are now beautifully

displayed

Hold onto me as I hold you

with fervor and strength in

my heart

For like a seal I have placed you

You, my soul

eternally.

Comfortably numb together

Unchanging hearts, unchanging words

finally

Never to be torn

A rarity.

The finality I’ve burned for since

love was perceived.
