  • you're the song I've been skipping on my ipod
    when shuffle comes around to songs of love
    laughter in the rain, slow dance steps
    you creep back into my heart each day
    no matter where I am, like a boomerang
    gravity throws me back at you
    more than words can say, you speak to me
    through transparent miles and apathetic skies
    and in these ever present reminders of us 
    I fall back in again, letting my fingers dial
    the numbers that make your voice pour out
    rain down regrets on my sinking air mattress
    patch me up with perfection
    the promise of a lifetime of love
    and strength and beauty
    understanding with independence
    tell me this is the last chance
    we have to make it this time or we'll die
    star crossed lovers, I protest
    death will not suffice
    I tried to die a hundred deaths
    And my heart won't let go of you
    My soul is cut to fit with yours
    together we lock into place to make a whole
    half to half, heart to heart we fall again
    into the depths of a love
    the kind that produces chances and challenges
    and I wish on each firefly, each passing star
    that we will make our way back together
    I fall asleep dreaming of your lips on mine
    I wake up with your name on my tongue
    Dancing together we move, quick quick slow.
    You'll water the remains of who I was
    let her grow and blossom in the moonlight
    Whispering to me the meaning of eternity
    You let my seasons change and promise 
    "The sun will come out again,"
    so together we will stand and fight
    to gain the love we had but let be taken
    by fear and loss and lust
    and we will arm her head to toe
    with strength from the pools of our only reserves
    to make the last stand
    fight the good fight
    to find ourselves forever intwined
    and even now I feel you next to me
    reminding me of who I am inside
    and how our love leaves us both utterly and
    perfectly finally alive.
