After All this Time

In the silence 
In the darkness in your room 
I can hear the candles flicker 
I can hear the wicks
Snap and burn
As ashes crumble into the wax
My hand finds its way to your back
And I pull your body into mine
You wash over me like wine
And your love leaves a stain
That I will never complain about
It lingers on me like the perfume you wear
Like your lips on my skin
You leave an impression
Wherever you touch me
Your fingertips brush against me
And I lose my breath
And I pause to acknowledge
How grateful I am
That you took a chance on me
That you choose me
Every day in every way that you can
And you look at me with such adoration
Can you see the memories sparkling in my eyes?
Can you see all the stories we’ve yet to write?
You see right through me
And I through you
And you tell me I tear down all your walls
And leave you vulnerable
To love and be loved by me
I hope I will always be
The person who can see you
In your purest form
Who can warm you with my loving arms
In a tight embrace
With your cheek against my face
I have never loved like this
Falling deeper after every kiss
And each time you tell me you love me
I feel like I am floating
Still reeling from the way you look at me
Even after all this time

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
