You were always the only one
the only man I could ever bow to
The only person I would love
The singular heart worth understanding

in our youth
we are worlds apart
sitting right beside you
I learned so much
I found myself so early
I never expected you
to be ages, miles away
Then you showed me
I was never alone
You existed
and my childhood aspirations
were worth
A touch I can't find

Don't think I never saw what you did
Again and again for my sake
Love songs written like wine
in a bottle crashing against the wall

I've been denying
this simple truth
incase it hinders you
I wanted so much
I never told you
Just how much you mean
And as much as it was never
just a matter of flesh
or a unreachable dream
these feelings of mine
have shackled my arms
If you were only a yard away
I'd show you what you ask for

I was always watching
You from spaces away
waiting to be lunged at
and taken down among the onlookers

I can suppose
I sent all the wrong messages
But I was always there
just to see you there
to love you from the floor
When I cuddle down to bed
I think of being asked to arise
to be proposed to
your self, building me up
to show the world what perfection
can be found in imperfection
To show the broken
that life is not useless

And yet, the longer I wait
the less I believe in a love
true enough to keep me sane
And I float away into cold darkness

but as long as there is drink
I wont ever give you up
no matter what they say
or how much you lie
I'll always know there was something
worth dreaming for
A love which can be held
And as I see that you see me
I can spread the word
That love is something
worth fighting for
That my love is valid
that your heart shant be denied

There is no reason for me
to stay from this trial
before the galaxies collide
so that we'll all be ok

And as long as there is water
I'll always find myself here.
Since it saved my life
I will be there for it till the end

And if there are tears
that build in these sockets
I will be crying at the sight
of most perfect beauty

And if you are afraid to show
your cuts and bruises
Know that I am a child
of the clan of black and blue

And if you cut me and I feel pain
And I batter you and you feel pain
Maybe then we will know
how to not hurt one another

The night is darkest before the dawn
But the light breaths through
And I realize a universe
That exists inside and out
The duality that bred our kind
would calm in veracity
as it spins around
always moving to never stop
While we dance on these meteors
I'll want to slip next you
Since we aren't alone
I'll always want to be surrounded
by you and your very own

Can we move beyond these thoughts?
to keep the vision clear
and remember what we do
for the sake of the noble good?

In our age we find a shadow
blanketing basic recognition
Until we do little more
than flip around in a seering pan
I can always jump out of this cook pot
if you really mean to consume me
I won't be so easily silenced
Since I fight for the right
To keep on living.

In your eyes
I saw my home
