you.

You poured your life all over me. Your thoughts and touches are running down my skin. Goosebumps from where you whispered promises of tomorrow. I am blind to all the danger. Blind to failure. Because this love taught me trust.

I trust you because I feel safe. Not just in your arms. In your presence. My gut is aching, blood whirls around. From the storm we’ve been through. From storms to come. But you never lose my fingertips. You stick to me. All over me. Like happy honey bees to melting popsicles.

We found each other in darkness. Bumped heads but shared a laugh. We walked life’s path together. On shaky ground. We tried. To hold on tightly and to take each step where it felt right. And minute after hour. Second after time. I realized what I wanted – I want you to be mine.

Not like a trophy, not like a sign. Just floating in the darkness. Together we will shine a light. On paths ahead; evaluate, what place comes next.

My love, my fear, my doubting rain. Pours over me again. I’ve known it all too well. Pain will soon set in. Better jump to loss of mind than to die when you let go. My thoughts won’t slow. I am crashing down…

Silence.

We don’t hit the ground.

It feels different now.

It catches me.

Sends me back on my feet.

Your worried look. You’ve always cared. Our fire sparks. Leave their marks where you fought me. To save us. We rest; assured.

I believe I have found a friend. Company for tougher spots, where limbs go tingly and hearts stop breathing. I’ll walk with you some more. And one day you’ll be leaving. Why? How could we know. Death of heart or soul.

Whatever was, however is. My soaked brain remembers thee who ran canyons through my body. Like veins of sights and lifes and feels. Scars that tell how hard we laughed and how soft we cried.

I can do this right. And should we finally fall – we’ll learn to fly. After all the paths we’ve left behind – I promise – my love for you is kind.
