i had given up, then
and lied down against your beautiful skin,
waiting to slip off or float away.
and after some time
i had stopped worrying about you
and started worrying about me

i began building myself up
and making sure i was strong
making sure that i loved myself
enough, to carry on
and eventually i broke into that point
and i was growing into something great

but you noticed me then,
in my strong point
and i didn't know what to do.
you were so, so broken
and that's when i knew i'd have to be loving enough for two

it wasn't easy, that was for sure
but we are making it through, together.
things can always get worse
but don't they have to,
in order for them to get better?
we promised to love one another, no matter what.


so now i play beneath your skin,
taking you completely in.
i sleep inside your skull,
listening to your brightest and darkest thoughts.
i trace the outline of your heart with mine,
now beating together as one person.

i've always been wanting to feel you
