• THE START •

oh darling, as i trace my hands through your skin;
i forget im the devil and leave behind all of my sins;
as i look into your eyes,
i know they're so pure and novice;
though you've been tricked,
and inspite of seeing your past wounds being mimicked;
you know to find the joy in life,
and maybe that's why I think you thrive;
as i see people give in to the stress,
you create within yourself this beautiful mess;
as i see people lose hope,
you along with your fantasies elope;
as i see people abandon love,
you find peace in bringing together the pair of doves;
and thus I feel you know what it's like to live,
and you feel what it's like to see others smile as you give;
and I ask giving away yourself,
do you not everytime lose a piece?
but you tell me you create abundance with so much ease.
i almost have fallen for you,
but this story would bring nothing except rue;
i know you'd give it all up for me,
but i really want to set you free;
for i have always known you were a bird,
meant to fly rather than follow a herd;
I'll always be by your side,
maybe somedays openly while sometimes i might hide;
for not always you'd want my presence,
because there are times you need to drown in your essence;
i feel the pain your eyes portray,
as my heart screams - you, I'd never betray;
time does us ugly as we weep,
and the dark walls around me again start to creep;
i try to soak in your face, this once;
i promise the next time I meet you, I'll return the happiness in tonnes.
but now it's time to depart,
because this world is an illusion, of which you're a part;
i hate to see you go,
but i know you're the seed the earth would sow;
everytime it would feel lonely or so,
because as you walk you sprinkle all around your love and glow;
i look at you drinking you in,
as i give you all my strength with the goofiest grin.
and oh darling, as i trace my hands through your skin;
i forget im the devil and leave behind all of my sins.
as i look into your eyes,
i know they're so pure and novice;
and i promise this isn't how our love story dies.
