By Tyler Knott Gregson
What if all we have ever wanted
isn’t hiding in some
secret and far away dream,
but inside of us now
as we breathe one another
and find home in the way
our arms seem to fit
perfectly around the spaces
between us?
What if we are the answer
and love was the question?
What if all this time
it was us you were supposed
to find?
I am filled with wonderings,
questions, and doubt.
But one of these things I am certain:
It will always be you
that gives flight to the
butterflies inside me,
calm to the sea I have become,
and hope to the darkness all around us.
It is you and it has always
been you….
you.
You that soothes and excites
and spreads joy like rainfall
on the already damp earth;
you that pulled me from the longest
sleep and kissed my eyelids
awake.
If life is a question mark,
then you, my love,
are the proud and bold period
that is typed with certainty.”
