You. Just, You.
Your lips grazing mine, your words envelop my time, and your thoughts envelop my mind.
So here, as I lie, I realise the Truth.
That underneath the puffs of your greatest sleep, and the gust of your smallest whisper,
The falling tears of your draining weep, and your eyes as they glimmer
I realise that I, Care.
Greater than a burden I bear, a gash or a bleed from a tear
The greatest ravine, I swear
But finally, I am Happy.
To be frivolous and resplendent, and to flounder and be splendid.
To go on the greatest adventure, and stay in the same room.
To be one with nature, and the roof will still loom.
To follow flumes and raging rivers, and to embrace the cold with but one shiver.
Understand that, my one and only intention, is to make life beautiful.
Understand that, you are my one and only intention.
You. Just, You.
