love is too simple a word
how could I ever condense
all the depths and eternities
of this fondness I feel for you

you know when you’re in a car,
and it’s thundering outside,
and you go under a bridge
and everything goes
silent

just for that moment, everything is calm
my own sanctuary, my quiet place
everything is okay before
we descend into the chaos again

you are my bridge, my peace, my comfort
the sun in my sky, so much that is good and perfect
how can I ever say I simply love you?
