In a New Light


Wanting has a whole new meaning for me

Desire, to touch, to feel you and feel us together

I did not know anything could be this good.

I look back, when sadness crushed me 

and all the words I spun were heavy with tears.

And this is not me, not now, not anymore.

“Weighted down by all this crushing sadness 

and I cannot breathe”

These words are not who I am, but who I was.

My body, mind, everything, are filled with spirit

and feeling, for you, for so many things.

I want you and I have you, you make me feel something

That I never knew I could

We are young, but isn’t that the best way to be?

Take advantage of time, they say, so I am.

Someday these days will be so far in the past

That I won’t remember your voice

Or the way you smelled when you layed next to me

But I will remember you, and the way you made me feel 

And the way the music sounded better with you there.
