It occurs to me when you
Let me see
A part of you
That no one else would be
Allowed to
We let our symbols be clothing
Left at the door when we’re alone
We let our bodies be trust
In each other’s hands I can’t
Get enough
Of making trust
Not enough of your voice
Your lips
Body
And wit
What metaphors that passed
Through our bodies
More empty than what
We were felt
No metaphors of
Your cryptic form
And gorgeous mind
Will ever amount
To the only thing I care about
That is you
Laying on my chest
While we’re naked
And I’m playing with
Your dyed hair
You weren’t a fan of it
At first
But, you know, I didn’t
Really care
Left your symbol on the ground
Don’t know where
Strewn our blankets all
Around the bed
By this point they were falling
From the edges
While we were busy falling
More in love
Trusting in me, baby
And knowing what it is
For you
To feel natural
We’ve come so far
And our will will go further
And every step we take
I’m going to capture
To show you one day
All the little things
Along the way
That said “I love you”
Driving in the car
While you’re holding my arm
And we’re sneaking out
Like we do every day
Not a moment passes
Where not through my mind passes
How lucky I must
Have to be
But then I turn and there you are
Smiling
You make me so happy
Even when you’re not trying
Lit up by the dim
Passing lights
Of passing night’s
Orange street lamps
Cruising down the freeway
With the only thing fleeting
Being the sound of other
Cars passing us
I’m lost
And want to savor
All the details I can build up
Into words for you
When we stop
And I get to look in your eyes
All the things that make me strong
Melt away
And suddenly the thing I see
Is not just hotter than the sun
But the one person
I’d give myself away
To
It happens
Every time you let me see
A part of you that won’t be
By anyone else
We put our symbols on
By the door, walking out,
No one expecting anything
Had happened at all
Like shadows of your
Favorite place
As sunrise comes
And goes again
But we’ll both know the little things
That said “I love you”
Consume Reality!
