.....you belong...

let me carry you away
let me wake you every morning
let me wander every day
beside you
-lyrics from You Dance, by eastmountainsouth

3am.  



on the front porch.



fingers and hearts intertwined.



she is beautiful.



the moon shines brightly, adding to the glow already on our faces.



her eyes.....my god, her eyes.



around us, the air is foggy, but my head is clear.



words circle inside...love...goddess...perfection...lifetime...fate.  



i cannot get close enough to her.



i want to stay there...forever...inside that moment.



i have never known this before...did not realize i was capable of feeling so much.



she takes everything that i am, and holds it so gently next to her heart.



i've never felt safe before...this is all new.



so many walls, put up to protect, now lie crumbled...eroding...washing away.



i want to protect her...i want her to know that i will hold so carefully everything that she gives me.



she is as precious to me as air.



i want to walk the beach with her.



stand on a mountain together.



move to tuscany with her...she'll paint and write poetry...i'll work in
a kitchen and play drums in a jazz band...we'll make enough to drink
wine and rent a small house from a local farmer.



build a house on a hill in grassy creek...i'll learn to play guitar and
sing songs to her...she'll make blackberry wine and tie-dyed
dresses...we'll eat green beans, tomatoes, and cornbread...she'll try
to tackle me in the mud.



we'll share all that is beautiful in this world and all that is not.



we'll sit under the stars...glowing in the moonlight.



souls and lives intertwined.



on the front porch.



3am.
