"how can you fail to feel this?
i can't take a breath without
hearing my name gasping from your lips.
you've overflown into every part of my life.
yet i don't know if my name is something
you can even remember in the early morning hours.
hey, i'm not complaining.
it's my signature in my soul's liquid
that set the peramaters of this engagement.
so i'll record the details with fright,
knowing every perfect moment could be our last.
soon, soon, i'll have the strength
to say goodbye and i love you."

"you speak of taking risks
but won't be the one to do so.
and i, i don't know how.
show me by example and i'm sure to follow.
kiss my forehead, i'll kiss your lips.
this is a secret no one has found,
x marks the spot.
sometimes i wonder what
those fluffy white clouds above me
really see, what they know.
do they cast shadows as smooth as your voice?
do they wish to be part of the midnights
i find myself waiting for?
or do they get tired of me
wishing away the day and therfor their prescence.
maybe the reason certain words
will never be spoken between us
is because you truely do not want to hear them.
maybe it's because your heart isn't ready
for the powerful words that could
one day simmer under the surface.
maybe you simply cannot handle the truth;
the iorny of life -
someone always holds back"
