Love me
Take me
I’m nothing more than a bag of hollow bones until you speak life into me
You
Your name
Breathes and lives in and throughout me
Not a day goes by when I don’t think your name
It’s like knowing my own
My heart is characterized by you
It is you
It knows no other response but to your name
Hearing it, it leaps like my mother demanding me forward
I wish I didn’t have to learn this way
I wish it so different
I wish you by my side
You and I
Your lips on my neck
Your hand on my thigh
Only sandy shores and sunsets can temporarily fulfill what you gave me
All the love
The security
The Laughs
I wish so much
But in all, I wish you happiness
For what more can my heart deserve?

Love me
Take me
I’m nothing more than a bag of hollow bones until you speak life into me
You
Your name
Breathes and lives in and throughout me
Not a day goes by when I don’t think your name
It’s like knowing my own
My heart is characterized by you
It is you
It knows no other response but to your name
Hearing it, it leaps like my mother demanding me forward
I wish I didn’t have to learn this way
I wish it so different
I wish you by my side
You and I

Your hand on my thigh
Only sandy shores and sunsets can temporarily fulfill what you gave me
All the love
The security
The Laughs
I wish so much
But in all, I wish you happiness
For what more can my heart deserve?
I wish I could take it all back. I wish I was with you.
