flightless bird

i'm nothing if not traditional.

i've waited a hundred years
but i'd wait a million more for you
nothing prepared me for
what a privilege being yours would do
if i had only felt the warmth within your touch
if i had only seen how you smile when you blush
or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
i would have known what i was living for all along
what i've been living for
your love is my turning page
where only the sweetest words remain
every kiss is a cursive line
every touch is redefining phrase
i surrender who i've been for who you are
for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
if i had only felt how it feels to be yours
well, i would have known what i've been living for all along
what i've been living for
though we're tethered to the story we must tell
when i saw you, i knew we'd tell it well
with a whisper, we will tame the vicious seas
like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees.

it's amazing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and still accept you for who you are. it worth the wait no matter how long.
