Words, waiting to be told – he said

How do I express what I hold
In my soul, in my longing for you to behold

It feels like a desire of a lifetime
Just to hold you once for real, in the hands of mine

I have held you for time immemorial in my soul
The wait seems forever when I will see you for real
Love and longing for a platonic soul mate  - the relationship that can never be...yet can never let go....

when you grace the garden
i am overfilled with sunlight!
an intense admiration
leaves me with sudden blossoms
of an ever gentle pink...

won't you come closer?
i don't ask of you to be mine
nor for the warmth of your hands
i simply asked to be loved
every now and then...

and when i realize my feelings are one-sided
my appearance falls apart one petal at a time
leaving me to cry among the decay
when the flower is no longer a beauty
what reason do you have to stay?
it can be interpreted as romantic love but i'm not really capable of that

At first I was falling,
Stuck in a whorlwind,
Stragiht for the ****** bin.

Twisting, turning,
Tumbling through-
Then I found you.

You held me firm,
And helped me stand.
Now I know me.
Here I am.
How peculiar that a single person can change your life so much...

You are always there for me.
You lift me up whene'er I need.
Your kindness spreads through my bones,
Reaching in and peeling back the facade.
Within your loving grasp, I'm calm.

Your strong arms hold me fast.
Truly I am free at last,
Holding on until my last breath
To you, my life support, my friend.
The warm red glow of peaceful balm.

Everybody needs somebody like you...
For Ethan, the one person in my life I couldn't live without

A fresh start to things recast
I start my job - it may be my last
New things, new roles, new people
Will I succeed, will I fit in
We...  Are on A Journey

At first, I see a pleasant face
A smile that cheers the soul
She turns and looks and dare I think
She'd make my life so whole
We...  Are on A Journey

It started small as some things do
A word, a glance, a sterling smile
The understanding is so clear
I marvel more and hold it dear
We...  Are on A Journey

As time moves on, I settle in
The days and weeks stretch further on
I feel secure and have a place
I long for her warm embrace
We...  Are on A Journey

Then one day she bears a gift
In jest, I'm sure as hearts abound
I love the thought it could be true  
I hope nothing can change my view
We...  Are on A Journey

One day she sits and opines
we have so much in common
I agree and say for sure it’s true
The path is clear, but can I woo
We...  Are on A Journey

Years pass and life it moves at pace
With joy and loss, a mix we share
We look, we smile, we talk
We know we fit but leave it sit
We...  Are on A Journey

The word is comfortable we share
The feeling is so clear
The word is love, dare it be
How can this work we’ll have to see?
We...  Are on A Journey

We are so good at being good
Platonic is the word
But love I know is such a thing
I hold out hope by just a string
We...  Are on A Journey

The eyes so strong and blue
And listening and attentive
Are but a window to her soul
I barely keep my self-control
We...  Are on A Journey

Friends for life it seems to be
The outcome that is best for all
and if it comes to that alone
My heart will not have turned to stone
We...  Are on A Journey

Love is water:
life-saving in its clarity,
drowning in its obsession,
home in its depths,
terrifying in its unknowns,
refreshing in its cool and heat,
pausing in its ice,
steeping in its boil,
relaxing in its tranquility,
overwhelming in its tidal waves.
