Do you understand the euphoria after the pain is gone?

Do you understand Do you understand me

Do you understand what I need from you?

Do you know how it feels to be dizzy with contentment? To fill your lungs up and love the air,

The toe-curling pleasure of letting yourself be,

have you felt the hurts that I have? Can you hear the music like me? The harmony and dissonance, the closed eyes of perfect moments, the ecstasy of rawness. The sharp bite, the urgency, the stillness, the night that is dark but void of fear? Sleep without dreams.

Do you know the sunrise alone, have you shared your breakfast with sleep bruised eyes and left yourself somewhere behind when you go?

Can you remember how it feels to be so in love with the night, intoxicated with beauty, the smell of winter, the taste of your lover’s mouth, the burn of the air on your naked face?

Breathe yourself to sleep next to me, and I will show you what it is to be safe

I will show you and my eyes will speak the words you need to know.
