perfect.

i don't know where you end

and i can't remember quite where i begin

although i recall the long nights

that seemed so ephemeral

the nights where you held my hand, because you knew..

you knew how it made me _{smile}

and you'd stare and watch

 

i know you could feel my heart racing when you kissed my fingertips

under my skin, the blood rushed steaming

hot

i could feel the heat beneath my cheeks

and all you could do was laugh

that laugh that could brighten even the darkest of days

the laugh that makes everything okay.

everything's perfect.

 

 

i look down and smile as i trace circles on your arms

afraid to look into your eyes

only because i knew..

i knew exactly what you knew

and as you kissed the top of my head,

a surge of lightening pulsed through my body

all the way to my toes

 

you pulled away and held both of my hands in your own

"perfect," was all that escaped your lips

the one word i'd never have understood

not really

and then it clicked.

i knew i was not close to perfection

never would be

but i was for you.

 

and as the rain cascaded down

your index finger tilted my chin up,

forcing my eyes to meet yours

i didn't fight it.

 

and your tender mouth ^crushed mine

i'd never felt so right.

 

i always thought of rain as a nuisance

and with that one kiss,

we made the rain ours

its a part of us

 

now, with every drop that falls from the skies

i'll remember that night, that kiss

i will never forget feeling perfect

feeling perfection throughout my being

perfect for you.

 

i took your hand in my own and we walked.

holding on.

and suddenly i remembered..

i discovered

you begin where i begin

there is no end.

 

we wander to find our place

hand in hand,

only beginning

it's something they call..

 

perfection.
