Hold me close
Light filters in as if we were a cradle of two lost beings, enshrined by moonlight
Kisses greedy and hungry
Your eyes, begging me to look at you
"It's time for you to get your fairytale" you say, as you cover me with kisses, burning with desire, and intensity. My breath flares in wild delight as I writhe beneath you.
I wonder if it will always be like this - your hands in mine
Feeling completely at one with the universe
It required patience to get here
Long nights where I questioned whether or not love was real at all
Looking at my fear of being judged
Seeing how that stood in the way of my purpose
Made me realize that every challenge is a gift, including separation and failure
It's those moments of uncertainty that being strength
Rising from the ashes, born anew
