I’ve tried so hard
To write the perfect expression
Of what I see when I look at you
And what I feel when I think of you
But I can’t
The words are there
Just beyond my reach
It should be so easy
Just to stretch out my fingers
And pull them down
Line them up and let them go
But I struggle
It’s never been like this before
I’ve never felt such a connection
There’s never been such a sense of right
Of where I belong
Of meeting someone for the first time
And yet our souls feel like old friends
And I just can’t let that slip away
No matter the circumstances
So here I am
Fighting
Trying to capture this spark
In a bottle barely big enough
With hands shaking
And eyes wide shut
I don’t know what I’m doing
But that can’t stop me now
(it never has before)
I’m too close
To something deeper
And more powerful
That I’ve ever known before
And if I could only get those words
To come down from their perch
To flow like they should
Then maybe their truth
Would set us both free
