love letters.

to my lover, i said:

I was waiting for the longest time,
as I listened to my shallow breaths in darkness
then there you were
and i knew there was no in between
when it is love

until my flesh and my soul mingled with yours,
i did not know that my heart which only knows how to complicate
could be so easily grasped
when I say that I have to go while my eyes beg for you to ask me to stay
you somehow already knew that i wanted to be saved.

your presence lingers and is pressed against me
it is what drapes over my mind and cozies upon my breast
it fiercely embraces me, but does not tame
and now i know that you’re the one that makes me feel
this and that, nothing and everything, from here to there

we are filled with surprise
i can hear your heart’s chatter through your green eyes
that speaks of love and longing
and it must be true
because i believe them


My lover said:

Right from the beginning
I think we've had that fire...
The kind that's hot enough
To bind a heart's desire.
And this desire is strong,
There's no mistaking this passion,
Stronger than all the douchebags,
Whose love they must ration.

Still sometimes, my love,
You make me use force,
To keep you from hopping away,
To keep you on course.
I do it for one reason
And one reason only,
That without each other,
We'd be ever so lonely...

Maybe I'd be more lonely,
Okay so maybe you,
Or maybe there's no maybe,
Or maybe I'm screwed.
Simply screwed up baby,
Thinking of you.
Maybe, baby, I'm crazy...
Yeah that's probably true.

But I'm in love with you,
Miss Jenny Choi.
Heart through and through
Mind simpler than a boy,
You must've noticed by now,
I'm really not that clever;
Without you, simplicity
Turns to endeavor.

Now after all this time we've spent,
Well I guess it's not that much...
At least relatively speaking anyway,
We fit nicely together and such.
We fit more like a frustrating puzzle,
With pieces missing, some long lost.
It doesn't matter though. It is what it is,
With these lines that we have crossed.

I can't get enough,
I can't sit still,
I can't quite breathe,
I can't get my fill,
And truly, baby,
I'd submit to your will.
