The Complexity of Love

I tried to mislay you

I ran

Obsessed with a fabled sovereignty

We would stand face to face

Hand to hand

Soul to soul

Furthermore the quicker I ran

I struggled to expunge the memories of us

Collectively

Souls and bodies as one

In the midst of another I glance left

On the wall were shadows of us

You and I

Evermore we shall be

But I never told you

How you make me feel

Deep within my heart

A fire burns; it turns to embers at times

But as you draw closer to me the embers twist to flame

I still need you

Forever need you

You and no more than you

You are the one and only

I close my eyes and I see you in front of me

I ran, blindly through the lane eager for traffic to numb the sting

Thinking that I could live devoid of you was an oversight

Thank God you never left

You were nearby

I collapsed in your arms; you carried me away

Away from the pain

Away from the chaos, the uncertainty

And the rest just fell away

Akin to melting snow on a blistering road

I’m nothing without you

You make me… me

To you I belong

Always and forever

Forever and Always

Through it all we will be us

I love you
