You understand
You have uncovered inside me a heart that can shout for joy
I can lift my heart to your handed gifts
You are the strong line that fastens me
In commotion you are the million pieces of my relief

I’ve cried so often
On my knees I have screamed
In the crumbling of my life
God have mercy of this broken woman I am
Sensations of sorrow pour over me
I am forever thin-skinned
Fighting my own purpose
I am frightened of the human race
But here I am vulnerable
I have set the hundred masks free from their prison of my needing

No more acting
My eyes, and soul are bared naked before you
I need for nothing more than our embrace
You are more than a wish that happened

You broke free from what others held you by
You help me find answers
to questions that make me so angry sometimes


There has never been a yesterday I have left behind,
where I did not love the idea of the morning sun
It doesn’t matter anymore
Another day with you
Is just right
Even if we did everything the same
all over again

I love you
