With a wisp of smoke and a sip of wine

A cup of raw emotions and a half sung line

Lost in a trance and dreaming of romance

But I couldn't hold your gaze it was too much too soon

Here with a binder full of expectations and charts of possibilities

While I lay drunk on sugar-coated economic propositions

Bitter blue of your tongue as it lashed through my veins

I exalted in the pain and nothingness of it all

Looked up at the ceiling and saw galaxies dancing on cobwebs

You and me and him and her

So close yet so very far

Blood song in my ears again

Come to haunt me through nights of velvet

Here I am and next moment gone

Hold me tight 

Hush don't break my bones

Or break them for all I care

My heart my bones my spirit my soul

I am not here not really

You and I and I and me

You taught me that love didn't have to be served with a side of anxiety and for that I'm eternally grateful. I learnt it the hard way that love need not be a precursor of pain.

A place of solace and a resting haven for all your worries.  Thank you for showing me a love that one can rely on and be sure of. Without question or doubt. I am glad this kind of love exists even in these fickle times. #reverie

  It's positively bizarre how fast someone can take over so much of your being. Remember when Coldplay had sung, "Nobody said it was easy, noone ever said it'd be so hard"? Well, they had obviously lied. 'cause it is that easy. Like nothing ever in my life has felt this easy before than being with you.   Sometimes, it scares me - the fear of loss, the what-ifs that come pouring in. But then I remind myself it feels so delicately precious because of how remarkably beautiful it is. I try to look back on times when I've heard them say to live in the moments and be grateful for whatever wonderful we get to be a part of. After all we are but a fragment of this vast universe. I marvel at how lucky one has to be to experience the wholeness of the universe in these brief moments which seem to last forever yet never long enough when we're together. What a conundrum!  They wrote poems about drowning in someone's eyes but haven't they felt the urge to stay af
