you took my screaming heart
into your gentle hands
and then
all was quiet

this dream life
is starting to blend in
with my real life

hope
disappointment
and hope again
always hope again

time taken
exploring the newness
of each other
turns into
settling into
the awe
and wonder
of us

when you look at me
i become
a shooting star
sailing across the sky
soaring
away
spreading our light
everywhere

sometimes
when i look back to you
i am astonished
with how your eyes
meet mine
paralyze me
with this look
that words cannot describe

you give me
everything i need
to be free

i'm not sure
what
you were expecting
but
you got
me

our gazes
meet
and
my smile,
sleek shy grin
is the beaming
of my heart
that cannot be contained

you soften me
with calm
you smooth my roughness
with ease

heal me,
love

you push me
to the heights
lift me
from the depths

a lone hand
outstretched
pulling me back up
from my darkness
the only one
who could

since i’ve loved you
i’ve only
loved
you
