Because Of It..

“I have seen my reflection in all the ways you light up to the things this world turns it’s head to, and I have fallen in love with my own heart and mind because of it. I have seen your soul exposed to the elements of reminders to the things that make you feel both broken, and free; and I have loved you deeper because of it.

I have seen your dreams dance across your eyes like moonlight on ocean waves, and I am in awe with your infinite wonder because of it. I have seen the lingering longing behind your smile when we kiss, and I crave your lips on mine even more desperately because of it.

I have seen your body shake to the things that make you anxious, and quiver to the things that leave you breathless.. And I want to hold you even closer because of it. I have seen you in the shadows, and the shallows.. both diving deep, and wading your feet, and I want to roll within your tides all the more because of it.

I have seen your darkness, and I have seen your light.. both in the words that stay on your tongue like a fine wine, and in the piercing wind that leaves tear stained cheeks.. And I have stayed by your side without expectations because of it.

I have seen your hunger and your passion melt my heart with just a touch, and I am all the more yours because of it. I have seen a future when you have yet to see beyond the present, and I am all the more invested in what past fears hold you hostage because of it.

I have seen sparks in the air from the electric energy between us, and I am all the more in love with the possibility of what we can become because of it.

And if this life refuses to see us together in more than these beautiful, but fleeting moments.. I am forever changed, and in awe with the brilliance of you because of it.”
