In the silence between heartbeats,
I find you-
not in the loudness of life,
but in the quiet moments,
where the world fades,
and it's just us.
You are the breath I take
when the weight of the world presses down,
the calm in the storm that rages inside me.
I wonder-how can something so fragile,
so delicate,
be the only thing that makes me feel whole?
There are days I fear you'll slip away,
like sand through my fingers,
leaving nothing but the memory
of your touch,
your laugh,
the way your eyes hold the sky.
I've never known love like this before
it terrifies me,
and yet, I crave it.
To love you is to walk a tightrope,
to dance on the edge of everything,
knowing that at any moment, I could fall,
and still,
I'd risk it all for you.
Because you are the spaces between every word I say,
the reason I wake before the sun,
just to watch you dream,
to remind myself that this is real.
You are the reflection of everything I've ever wanted,
everything I never knew I needed.
And though I may not always say it,
may not always show it,
I love you beyond words,
beyond time,
beyond this lifetime.
If I could carve my heart into the stars,
I would-
so even when I am nothing but dust,
you'll look up,
and know
that I loved you
with every piece of me
that ever was.
