This time it's you.

[amorepermusica]

Have you ever had someone come into your life
that sincerely changed your view of the world?
That sincerely touched your heart,
your mind,
your spirit,
your life..
In a way that you never thought possible?



I've felt that kiss that hits like a fist.
And I've heard the words that stop me like a brick wall.
I've been captivated.
Mesmerized.
Swept away.
To a world so close to perfect it's tempting to never open my eyes again.

He's crawled into my heart.
He speaks my name and I find myself spellbound.

And darling, if you're reading this,
read between the lines.
Read what I'm not writing.
And remember that every line has a you;
a you that the writer writes to.
You're it this time, darling.
You're it this time.

That night you leaned over
swearing you wouldn't get sick
and i held you there, thinking-
i would offer you my pulse
if i thought it would be useful.
i would give you my breath.

And i realized that night that the hall light,
which seemed so bright when you turned it on,
is nothing-
compared to the dawn
which is nothing-
compared to the light
that seeps from you while you're sleeping,
cocooned in your room-
beautiful and calm,
resting.

You've not only earned a place in my memory,
you've earned a place in my heart.
You've changed my life,
and I'll never, ever be the same.
