deeper than words

loving someone
as they are and
not the imaginary picture
you hold within.

I want you,
when the sky is filled with clouds
and imminent is the storm.
I want you,
when you don’t want to
get out of bed because
you don’t see what I see.
I want you,
with all the hurt from your past.
I want you,
and I don’t just mean physically
I simply want all of you
just as you are.

I want your soul.

flowing through life
submerged with a feeling of nostalgia
with each breath,
longing for something, someone,
that is yet to happen.

watching your lips move
attentive to your every word
gazing into your eyes
getting lost in the unknown.
wondering if you’re the river
that will lead me home.

“meglio una capanna
dove si ride
che un castello
dove si piange.”
ho sempre provato di farti ridere,
il mondo nelle tue mani
ma non abbiamo saputo manigliarlo.

loving you,
in all the ways of how I
wanted to be loved all along.

waiting,
to hear the words I crave for,
the secret password.
wondering,
if those words,
are meant for someone else.
but at the end,
actions are louder than
any lullaby of words.
the only proof you’ll ever need.

I often wonder,
if you realize how beautiful
you really are.
deep within,
beyond the superficial beauty
and the craving of learning all of you.

I yearn for you,
like the sun’s desire for the moon.
the greatest parallel,
as the clock kept them chasing.
infinitively out of reach,
unsure if their path will ever intertwine.
but,
from time to time
we are reminded that
the improbable does happen,
when the two become one
as if it was meant to be.

to know someone
better than you know
your own self.
indescribably close
yet out of reach.
