ethereal

our love feels magically ethereal;

the emotions you invoke are visceral;

i’ve lived my entire life in denial;

that i’m anything but skin, bones, and bile;

i’ve spent an abundance of days and nights;

with my mind rejecting the thought of lights;

i spent the majority of my years;

drowning in a puddle of my own tears;

that i neglected to see any beauty;

until i met you, and you accepted me;

i used to hone in on constant self-destruction;

until logical thinking escaped abduction;

ethereal, delicate;

patient, compassionate;

i crave your comfort everyday;

but i’m scared of you walking away;

i’m scared of abandonment, so i’ll push you out first;

sometimes it feels as if my fate has always been cursed;

although i’m not sure why i feel like i deserve pain;

i’m not sure how you change the chemistry of my brain;

you’ve allowed me to embrace the sensation of hope;

the pattern of balance is now in an upward slope;

prior to loving you, i assumed i’d be alone;

but you embraced my flaws and i adjusted your tone;

you shifted my perspective on life drastically;

the relief i feel when i choose to live candidly;

is the authenticity that i have wished to feel;

and all i’ve wanted is for happiness to be real;

ethereal, delicate;

patient, compassionate;

i crave your comfort everyday;

but i’m scared of you walking away;

i’m not sure why i’ve felt the need to push you out;

despite your true efforts to abolish my doubt;

you know that i love you and i know you love me;

so why am i always seeking out agony;

when you entered my life, i had an epiphany;

that i didn’t know the wonders of mere company;

i had been fixated on familiarity;

of the constant trend of others’ insincerity;

that i couldn’t fathom or grasp my reality;

that you have provided significant clarity;

by skewing my thoughts more toward rationality;

and i just want to thank you for believing in me;

and for all of my attributes i finally see;

if it weren’t for you, i’d probably still be deep;

in the hole of misery, and the climb up is steep;

but you would never allow me to remain that low;

instead, you supported me and loved to watch me grow;

and you’ve consistently made sure that i always know;

that my beauty is ethereal, i’ve got that glow;

that drew you in the first place, we never took it slow;

the romantic tension is bound to overflow;

and we gave it a chance to blow it up with a boom;

but we chose to watch as our love continues to bloom;

ethereal, delicate;

patient, compassionate;

i crave your comfort everyday;

i’m not scared of you walking away;

i love when you prove to me all the time;

that if i accept it, love isn’t a climb.
