from your memory

it's different...

when you're finally able to feel like somebody-

it-

changes you.

makes you into who you're ought to be...

and after all the things are done, you look

back on them and realize they all make sense

they all pertain to the main focus of your being here

of your existence on this planet

dear god, you are my safe-house

my lighthouse

my statue of liberty, with you

i can do all things

through you, my strength can be found

i used to be so careless with my words, before

i told myself i picked them like i pick everything else

scrambled and unsure of their meaning

but now

oh my!

the words i choose are of the upmost ripe

and so i must say them for i fear there will come

a time when the words will go sour and there

will be no place left for them any longer

your mom is the most wondrous person i've ever met, love

and no, i'm not just saying that coz 

i've never been out

you know i've never been out much

but

your mom is a special flower

as soon as i stepped in- i was already nervous

but as soon as i stepped in, every hesitation went away and

seeing as how it was the first time i met your mother

yes, there were some nerve residue left

my only regret was not spending as much time with her as i spent with you

i care about that too ya know

i wanna get to know her

and what you said of her-

you both deserve the world's love

i'm always at your hip, aren't i?

i need to be with you, do you see that now?

your face is etched in the palms of my hands

if i miss you, i can just look at them both

two halves of a whole

you are the only thing that makes sense to me

and i swear, for the sake of all mankind and their constant fissures; i will not conform

I love the self assurance of the "I" in this and the fact that it seems like inwardly there has been a reckoning that allows coherent expression and thought, confidence and self identity being the key. This is almost like two separate pieces of writing with the first half the coming of self and the second an understanding that love has many parts, and when those parts are connected, the whole of the thing is made greater, transcending just "A" relationship. Loved this!!
