_{I feel like i don't give you the things that matter

i've always prided myself on my ability to conjure stories and
words and at the drop of a hat, and i've spun countless tales
about things that are out of my control and aches and ghosts
and that time we weren't us.

when it comes to you there's never enough.
never enough of anything; words, time or love.
because nothing is enough to sum this all up, and i feel that
this is the best feeling ever and it would lose something
if i could wrap it up in a sentence or a novel
and do it justice

thats what makes this so special

cause i used to think i understood myself
and that i knew i was all over the place and constantly running
to things i wasn't even sure existed.
but you slow me down to a pace where i can see the outlines
of trees and i can breathe again. i keep reaching to grab your
arms or hands or waist to make sure you're still there
cause i'm terrified you'll disappear.
but you're not.
and i'm not.

you should know that i'm not comfortable in my own skin
but i'm comfortable in your arms and that is more
than i could ever have hoped for.
and i don't know how to write this all down right.
i'll put it in the wrong order, or choose the entirely wrong words
but i can tell you i know how it -feels- and there's no
adjectives i can push around to
ever sum that up.}
