You were months
Of once in a
Lifetime
Love
The war
Around me
Can only end
With love
That understands
What it’s fighting for
If you’d let me
Love you
All night long
I don’t know
What else you want
From me,
Though
I’m all of the
Cosmos
In one pair
Of eyes
A million stars
Wrapped in a warm
Soul
I’ll tell you again
That
Love was never easy
It’s supposed to make things
Messy
Love asks us to ruin
Ourselves
And we do it
