Have You?

Have you ever just gotten lost in someone?
Felt like there was nothing to hide,
Nothing to fear,
Nothing to lose, but them...

They make you forget what you were,
remember who you are
and love you because of it
Not in spite of it

So long starved for affection
Understanding, meaning
When it's found
You don't want to waste a drop

That other half that makes you want to love them
It comes easily
Like hot words from a cold tongue
You fight against everything for their happiness

It doesn't feel like a fight
Like work
It flows from you like water
Giving life

A smile
On the lips, in the eyes
Found in the spark of their touch
The breath of their want

A redefinition
of everything you thought love and life to be
A verification that dreams, stars
were not untouchable

Have you ever offered the same acceptance,
you wish to be given?
If you haven't, I feel for you
You are missing the best of everything
