i want to be close to you
i want to know the smell of you
i want to know the taste in between your lips
and smiles you save only for me.
you are a mystery-
a mad distraction to me
that makes me want to break myself into a million pieces just so i can float next to you.
i've always wanted something bigger
bigger than me
bigger than the sum of all the broken parts
and here we are
so full
of it
so full of this conviction
that we deserve a big love
even if we are sometimes afraid to create it
i am done walking through the empty spaces
with a picture
in my mind
of what it feels like to be complete
full on love
that is my own
that is yours.
you say you love the way i love you
baby it's taken a million broken hearts to hear that.
it's taken me glueing so many mis-placed parts together
to hear that.
it's taken me hearing my own voice
and trusting my own love
to hear that.
but i finally hear it and
i've finally found the right combination that allows me to see through my barriers.
i am in love
with a million divides
that part the many parts of me
but still i am full enough
to be whole
and offer a whole
part of something
that sees through you
and sees through me.
and neither one of us is safe
to the curiosity
and determination
that i have
to hold on to this.
i'd like to think you have something bigger than what i've known
that's never gonna give it up
and never gonna see anything through but the us we've come to know
and i'm ready for that
i'm ready for your kind of love
because everyone sees that this is the thing that i should do
and sees that this is what i want to do
and the subtle difference is that i do what i want to do
and never what everyone wants me to do.
and baby i want to love you
till the love and blood runs thin
and then dry in me.
