i have loved you for forever
and i cannot fathom it
you are all that i remember
and you are all i have ever known
i have waited for you for a lifetime
every crack and crevice of myself
is filled with you
and there is nothing else
you are all there has ever been
and this lifetime of pain
suddenly appears beautiful
with you standing inside of it
i understood love as you held me in darkness
and i understood peace when you held me in light
you have shown me
there is something inside of me worthy of life
