Lost, Found, And Chosen.

Cryptic Love

I was always so desperate, so envious of a love I never had.

I remember when i started to write, these pages held me,

Kept me close and warm and gave me the things I never needed;

Until I needed them..

I remember the hands drifting along,

Eyes staring into the soul of everything I stand for.

We were locked in a liminal space,

In between where we started and where we were headed.

You never got to see my real face, only my real feelings.

You never needed that though,

at least i don't think you did.

Your actions right now show exactly that.

You're probably sitting somewhere in your room,

Quietly unaware of what you're doing right now.

But, your falling in love, with me,

Just like I have for you.

Do you see me yet, this cryptic message I've left just for you..

And to be honest i'm scared you'll close this chapter with me,

Leave me to gather dust alone,

But maybe you won't, so here is my reading lamp for you at night...

It's you.. It's always been you.

You just needed to hear it directly from me.

I love you dear reader..

Just like I'm sure you now love me.

But if somehow I've gotten these feelings wrong,

Don't close the book, don't close me, leave me full but empty.

Lost without your eyes to read me, your hands touching...

Carry me to your favorite places and re-read me over again..

I'll show you all the ways to love, and you'll show me,

Everything I never knew I needed...

Until I did...that I now can't live without.
