You told me once that your body is a temple, and today I saw it crumble
Your turrets fell to the ground as you joined me in hand and hip
And you jumped from the cradle into my arms
But your palms shook firm like mahogany as you slipped out from your floral silhouette
I held your heart in my hands as it was beating
And you captured me like the Garden of Eden
I never knew you, not all of you at once
Not until today when you revealed every contour and lesion
Every little cadence beneath your breathing
Please don't let this be us peaking
Don't let the years pass by in fleeting
When you start to count your seasons in freedom
Because one day you will reach the end of my imagination
Where people raise pickets of indignation
If this cannot last forever, then shall it be my resignation
