The only rose in your garden

Words don't need to be said

When I can see the way you look at me

A sense of awe

As if I was the only rose

Growing from your garden

I can feel your patience

Melt away who I thought I was

And I stand before you

Unable to hide behind excuses

I can see your heart

Desiring to hug me

A golden truth

That cannot be ignored

Hot Liquid

The way you protect me

Feels like hot liquid pouring down my back

I almost want to give up

But my heart won't allow me to walk away

Even when I know I keep feeling pain

A part of me already knew

What it would be like to love you

Holding the capacity for love

Holding the capacity to love you

Feels like I am standing before a giant mammoth

Every time you walk towards me,

My world breaks apart piece by piece

I thought it was right to turn the other way,

To run from an experience

I never had before,

But deep down,

There was a belief that led me to acting detached,

It felt normal for the ego,

But it started to suffocate my soul,

The roots felt unmovable

An ancient energy

That cannot be forgotten

The roots carried worthlessness

And it became unbearable to look away

As long as the ice sent shivers down my skin,

My belief would continue to run like a stream,

And my capacity to hold love leaks out

But when you said I was beautiful,

I could feel the ice melt away completely,

And I started to see myself through your eyes

The night looks brighter with you

The cityscape comes alive at night,

But I choose to focus on the beating of my heart

As silence takes up space between us

We found our own personal mountain

After falling into the pit of misunderstandings

The night looks brighter with you

Because we're finally close enough

To where our hearts touch

And this is the moment

Where I would rather glance at your beauty,

Than the beauty before us

There is a string of fear,

A small echo

As if I am waking up from a dream

And the details slowly slip away

But then I feel your physical hand,

And you somehow wipe the fear out of my head

And make my heart roar once again

Secret melody

You complete the melody

That I didn't know I needed

Your affection is a song

That I didn't need to logically learn,

It was already written in the heart

Like a secret diary just for me and you

The piano keys made me think

That black and white was life

But I didn't truly feel the music

Until you showed me

That it was okay to spread out my wings

And find the harmony

Like it was a lost artifact

Never truly lost

But it stood before me

And the filter of judgement

Clouded my sight

We have a secret melody

Only we can hear
