when i remember
i remember i was just a girl when i met you
i knew nothing of being a woman
but when your hands touch my skin
and your lips brushed mine
a fire started in me
you were the match and your touch was the spark
you lit me up
God i was beautiful
you opened my eyes to show me my own beauty
and for that i fell deeper
deeper in the the ocean that is you
i could swim in you all day
your laugh felt almost like a song i had on repeat
Your arms felt like home
Strong and safe
warm and wrapped around me
You were my home
You made me want to be better
No one has ever broken down my walls
No one has seen the ugly
Bits and pieces maybe
But all of it? in it’s entirety?
No one has.
Except you
And you still stayed
and continue to stay.
You are here
But i can barely feel you anymore
The fire you started is merely the flame of a candle now
But you are still my home
Only I feel i can’t come home sometimes
and… your laugh is a tune i hear only on occasion now
and what i would give to just dip my toes in your waters again
I love you
but Im not so sure you still feel the same way any more
