Give It All to You

I would have given my last dying breath to you
If it means you and our love can last infinitely.
I wish the world could see it as something more
 
Than naïve or foolish. As the sky goes from blue
To black, I would give you the stars as the intimacy
Between us flows so easily. As you open the door
 
To your heart I would do anything to ease the pain
And fear I see etched there in your soul. Like a strike
Of lightning, our love is like fate standing eye to eye.
 
I would stand in the middle of the street as the rain
Comes pouring down if that means I can kiss you like
We read about in books and see in movies. Baby, I
 
Already know love does not come easily for you, but
I see it in your eyes and words. I see it in the way
You hold my hand in yours. I see it in how you trust
 
Me despite the fact you have been hurt and in a rut
Before. Love should never keep one shaky or swaying
Side to side. People say love might be chemistry or lust
 
That comes bubbling to the surface, but love should
Keep us steady and ready to take the jump despite
The fear of the murky. Love stronger than any steel.  

Love that holds us as we float like pieces of wood.
Love should steer us towards the hope and light
Shining from the heavens. Love that we can feel.
