In Your Soul

 

I've lost my soul in you, 

  A happy home of mariachi. 

A vessel under our stars. 

  A warmth cast, imperfect but true. 

A light in loving you. 

  I feel young again, in heart, 

A mere teenager. Struck and stuck in breath. 

Until I bounce back, clever and bereft of any fright, but only sass. 

  You light up my heart, 

And give me strength- a strength for so long 

  I broke to my knees carrying. 

Every muscle aching. 

 Then you....

Brought me reprieve. 

 When two carry, 

Such this load, the lightness is feathered. 

  Made weightless. 

This is what I thought, 

 Love was supposed to do. 

And I will forgive you, your quirks. 

  I will hold them, 

And laugh with you. 

I will challenge you back...

  Because isn't that what love, 

Is supposed to do? 

I told you, 

  I would My Dear, 

Let myself fall for you...

  Even though I was afraid. 

And you gift me everyday 

  More and more of you...

Innocent and deep in exchange. 

And I know you well, 

  But this is new...

Inside you in this way. 

So gather us patience 

 Afford us our grace..

As we navigate what here, 

 We've made. 

And I will love you, 

  As I promised...

You make it impossible not too. 

Thank you My Jack

  For everything you've promised

Even if it passes away. 

Even if somehow, never it does...

 See the light of day.
