"Loving you was like being underwater. You're surrounded by oxygen molecules but they're mixed with all the things your lungs will never breathe in. Just like you." - Anaïs Keilani*

'Cause of you.
I know how it feels to be struck dumb. For my lips to seal themselves shut, yet want to - no, ache to burst forth and wax lyrical of your eyes, your hands, the way you smile. The way you 'just are'.
'Cause of you.
I've known what it means to experience delirium, and want to stay that way. Because, I - I just can't think it sane to feel this way about a flesh and blood being 'cause human is nowhere near what you are.
'Cause of you.
I believe - I know, I think, I feel every sensuous beat of time as it ripples past me in each movement of your lips and - and velvet words caress my ears.
'Cause of you, I've known love.
And without you, I yearn to forget it.
