ceremony

you exist
so I breathe
and in my dreams
you breathe beside me

this thing new born between us
never ours before
they call it love
we call it something more

your love is a ceremony
and like rain on a summer night
you are like music inside me

the levy of every breath
and creak of the floor
forlorn halo is all you wear
I'm a little disconnected
a little uncorrected
but I'm still wanted here

and when you touch me I'm alive
in ways I thought I'd already died
you calm my restless feet
heal my unease
cause our love is a ceremony
and you exist so I breathe
