I am everything I am nothing I am all that is in between I'm the whisper in the wind When you're listening for god's voice

you feel like fire under my tongue your fingertips singe any innocence I had left in my torso and neck your kisses make me dizzy clouded mind nothing exists but your lips and mine wrap me up stop my breath with your hands help me remember why it's okay to love again

you tie taut bows out of all my broken strings slice the frayed edges turn them into pretty somethings like satin ribbons in a little girls hair pulled to perfection, delicate as can be unlike the harsh ropes that are hidden underneath they twist and they splinter and callous skin until it bleeds but you held the ropes in your hands and made something special out of me

sometimes I like to play pretend like I don't love you at all and the butterflies I get at the mention of your name are just another sign of my need to grow up and when I'm "grown up" I'll forget and I'd be perfectly fine without you but shit I'm not fooling a soul because so many times when somebody asks how you are my cheeks flood red and the corners of my lips fly to my ears and every god damn time you grab my hand it's like the first time all over again so I guess I was playing pretend after all you're never going to go away figuratively, that is because as much as it scares me, I love you

you have the entire sky captured in your irises and every tiny strand of blue and green in those lovely eyes of yours is bigger than anything I'll ever be and every little thing about you from your long eyelashes to your tanned skin, it all matters so much and I'm just a name and a face who stumbled upon enough luck to love the boy with the sky in his eyes
