REALNESS

I had to take a moment
For composure
And I missed
A chance to get closer
Your embrace
Extended to me
As if I deserved it somehow
But all I really wanted
Was to lose myself in this emotion
Let it surround me like a rapid ocean
And flow into me to absorb my being
Completely
Let the waves wash me
Into the currents calling my name
So that I may ride them to a place filled with truth
Where I could go with you
A fresh break from life
Just for now

With all I have given
And what you have given back
I believe we should feel that
Together
But perhaps your hug
Made the impossible seem possible
And I knew in that moment
That space of time could take me there
Making me relinquish control
An idea mostly unknown
To the beat keeping me alive
Which is likely why
The intake of oxygen
Fell short from my lungs
Leaving me breathless and statue like

And fear questioned on
With its usual aggression
Am I ready to travel
To foreign lands
With a soul unraveled
Temporarily in your hands?
"No"
"Yes"
"Maybe?"
"I'm not sure"
Terribly conflicted
It might be too much yet
And it wouldn't be right to try
With lingering doubt

The feeling of 2 humans expressing
And not suppressing
Is one that doesn't come by often
And is only longed for
In dreams that plague me constantly
But here it is in my grasp
So I'm holding tight
To everything felt
This depth of rawness
Can't be disputed
By any entity
It reveals no illusions
Only brings clarity
In bright lights
That warms my soul

Now that we see
What is inside of each other
We must cherish it
With all that we are
Keep copies of images
Inside our hearts
Reflective glass encased
To remind us
That we can always find happiness
Right here
Without question
And right now
That is the only thing I'm certain of
