so familiar and overwhelmingly warm
this one, this form I hold now
embracing you, this reality here,
this one, this form I hold now, so
wide eyed and hopeful
wide eyed and hopefully wild

parable.
I find myself
free
I pulled myself from the dream
from you
I found my way
to the shore
I found my way
a new set of eyes
a new smile
a new embrace
and a feeling
just as new

acceptance
contentment?

leaves falling once more
and there is no one that I've ever wanted more
to have, to hold
no one that I have ever wanted in a pure way
such as this
no lust, no lies
no compromise
my own shortcomings and doubts
based on previous encounters
and experiences

I will those away with the wind,
always colder, always wilder
still
away, with the leaves

away

maybe this is the notion I denied
maybe this is what I dream of at night
maybe, it just may be
the past
I stare into my cup and forget
stars as my witness

forever games have to come to a stop
I forget you
I refuse to run in circles once again
I forgive you
everything easier said
hardly done

I forget you

we barely remember what came before this precious moment,
choosing to be here right now
hold on, stay inside
this body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
this body makes me feel eternal
all this pain is an illusion
