I'm Sorry
But I can't stay without being loved by you.
I'm sorry,
But I can't keep looking into your eyes without them looking back with love.
I'm sorry,
But I can't keep watching your lips speak words I can't kiss.
I'm sorry,
But I can't bear to feel your warmth without you warming my bed.

Loving you without being loved by you
Is the most painful thing,
The most beautiful thing,
The most incredible thing—
But I can't stop.

I will love you until the stars go dark,
Until the nebulas set sail.
I will love you until death gives me its mark—
Or I kiss you in a white veil.

I drowned in your eyes
Before I could teach you how to swim.
I left heaven
Before I could teach you how to ride a bike.

God knows I need you,
Like He needs the Devil.
But time will pass,
And the dust will settle.

I’m grateful I got to love you
Even the pain is worth it after diving into your soul.
Because our love is unique, eternal, and true.
And if you so decide, I will return... just as I once vowed.

And I will go to a faraway land,
Carrying the verses inspired by your eyes
And the memory of your scent.

I need to return to the real—
To know life again, and heal.
Maybe distance will do me some use,
Without my sky, my sea, my muse.

I feel naked in the storm of my brain,
As my poems escape with the water from my eyes,
Forever lost in the drain…

My skin carries the stories foretold—
Symbols and dreams only we know,
Words touched by the tip of your soul,
Written in ink, scarred in red bold.
