deeper than words

I don’t need you to find any words, I feel it.
your eyes tell me things your lips never could.
more than any words could ever describe.
my struggle all along.

disconnecting from everyone
long enough to see what is real.
how deeply we are connected
will show what will remain.

it’s easy to give in to
the desire of comfort.
after all,
your future self will
be the one to deal with
the consequences
of your decisions.
comfort makes you ignore
what is in plain sight.
but,
the day will always come
where that future self
becomes the present.

what if,
it works out exactly as intended.
maybe,
even better than expected.
entertain that thought,
for once.

seeing the light flickering
at the end of the tunnel.
ignoring the noise,
putting energy into what is important.
not where you are
but where you want to be.

a gloomy day,
the pitter-patter of the rain
hitting the windshield
creating a familiar tune.
the trees hugging the road,
a companion for the unknown.

two hands,
tangled together perfectly,
like a missing piece finding its match.
the moment they connect
their heartbeat
pulsing back and forth
in sync.
intertwined souls,
wondering if
could it last forever
or just long enough to be a memory?

an innate desire,
to take care of you
to provide all that you need
to burden myself with all your struggles
for you to feel my presence
for the rest of our days.

no rose colored glasses,
can’t really see well with those.
past, are the power struggles
that shaped our differences.
accepting of who we are.
achieving oneness,
in tune with your mind,
like the words you don’t say
but somehow I know what is to come.

preconceptions not investigated
creating a life not worth living,
forced reset.
