There's something more to affection,
far deeper than the butterflies.
There's something other than a feeling
that makes up what we call love.
There's a sense of reality,
far heavier than beauty,
a sense of truth,
far more profound than romance,
a sense of belonging,
far more intricate than just a feeling.
And you know you're made for each other
when your eyes meet,
and there's a glistening of reality,
a truth connecting your glance,
yet in that look, you are assured
you're meant to be.
I wish I could be there, then maybe we would look at each other like this, then maybe—maybe we could be together, because no one else seems to fit

I wonder if it's still you,
because you're the one I still dream about.

If I had the chance,
I would brush the slits on your wrists
with the stroke of my fingers,
and still call you beautiful.

I've never been one for conflict;
I'd even say I'm a chill dude.
But when I feel like someone's
blowing smoke between you
and me, I get a feeling I can't
describe, but all I know is if
they try something, I'll call in
the rest of our cavalry.
for my Kind and my Blood

I wonder if it's still you,
because it's no longer the feeling I continue to miss, it's  y o u.

Hand me a paddle,
because you're not in this boat alone.
Your sea was once beautiful and blue,
but now rages where darkness has grown.
May I recall to you the rainbow,
that will show above these waters of emotion.
God's promise of our salvation,
and that He will not let you drown in this ocean.

I love storms,
to the point where I would go out of my way
to chase them down.
If I find on the radar that it will miss me,
I'd drive to wherever it would next be,
get out of my car to stand in the rain,
and let the storm surge around me.
In the same way, I love you,
to the point where I would go out of my way
to listen to you all day long.
If I find that you're avoiding me,
I'd kindly step into wherever you'll next be,
get out of my comfort zone to stand in your rain,
and let your storm surge around me.
I wouldn't selfishly wear a rain coat,
but I'd bring an umbrella with me,
so you can step out of your storm,
if only just for a moment,
and stand with me,
so I can remind you of the calm
after the storm.
to l.w. and for everyone else
