Some may say they′ve never felt love

Or that they're too scared to, so why bother right

Or they′ve fallen but into placesWhere a cold stillness caught their hearts instead of the warmth

I can say I've fallen to some of these outcomes, and it's not pleasant

But oh, does it make finding the true thing so much more satiating

I know I say this a lot, that with you my effortless translation of my feelings

Become shell shocked speechless, but with a calm peace I let it take me over

Every inch of me wants to tell you though

Wants to find the perfect words to match the incredible love that is you

So, this is me, trying to attempt just that

"You took my heart... and gave it a home"

Danced in our ears, filling our emotions with an ecstasy of endless bliss

Its something about your touch

You′re the first person that I know doesn′t just feel me

When the space between us gets smaller and smaller

You see me

You hear me

You hear every delicate caress

Telling you I love you

You leave my lips in eloquent silence

Leaving every nerve, atom, cell in my being wanting you even more

Frantically wanting to pass through

Every sensation of raw, sweet, radiance I feel for you

Out Through the ends of my fingertips

Into the coils of your hair

Into the soft, safe warmth that is your chest

Around the trusting fine drawn creases of your eyes

As my fingertips kiss your skin, surrendering to your soulful melody

But its nothing more then a silent scream

That I hope you hear because my soul doesn't know how else to tell you

My eyes become overwhelmed with the surge of surrealism

That I let go

I let my walls fall into you

Heavy with grace

But you catch me and ever drop before one can hit your skin

"I′m here baby", "Its okay I'm here"

My breathing gets heavy, shaking with disbelief

That for once my soul feels relaxed hearing these words

There tired yet relieved tears

Tears that have been shed for loving "too hard"

Tears that were taken for granted

Tears now of joy

I hold you as if you had just come back from war

Clinging to your heart that I hold so so dear to mine

You make me want to be so close our energies become one

It′s just one beautiful flicker of light shining in unison

Constantly outpouring the subdued walls to one another, appreciating the firsts

I've never been so comfortable in my skin around anyone not even the mirror

But with you I don′t feel anything less of whole and safe.

Some may think to be naked you

Just help someone take off the layers of clothing

Till there's a warm, plush layer

Which then means you have seen all of that person

Naked is the mask which clothes provide

Eyes on the outside of these flowing walls of fabric don't see the person

They see exterior

A bareness of soul and depth.

You haven′t even seen the beginning of who they are

What′s their childhood street they played on till the streetlights went off

What thoughts keep them up till 2 am

What's the stories laced within their scars

That they′ve never showed a soul

You haven't seen them naked

They were just covered with materialistic wrapping that you ripped off abruptly

As if they were the toy you wanted on Christmas

That you forgot was there 10 seconds after opening the next one

"I don′t want to cry but you know me so well"

The lyric hits me and I come back to the present

Touched by the reality that you are the first to ever see me

To ever

See

Me

All of me

The me that is the most raw and vulnerable

The me with painted stretch marks that kiss my thighs

The me that has been loved, taken advantage of, thrown away, and forgiven

The incredible thing is

I don't feel naked

I don′t have the immediate self-conciseness

To rush to the safety of darkness to put my layers of walls back on

"I actually could stay like this for a while"

Because for the first time having layers or not, didn't mean anything to me

You let me see you in the most open crease of your tender energy

As did I

Being there felt like a lifetime of different loves in one soul

Forever in a moment

First time I ever truly let someone see me naked

Stripped of insecurities now re grown with confidence and self-love

So, thank you

You took my heart

And gave it a home

So even though all I can manage to say in the moment

Is

I love you

Just know I tried to

Give you something to

Help you understand you

From my

Point

Of

View

I love you
