Oh, the things I could teach you,
like diving deeply within
to hold yourself in places
you don’t remember having been;
like letting your soul dance
on a swallow’s sailing wing;
like the pleasure of a perfect word
and the agony of almost kissing.
Oh, the things you could teach me,
like taking my within outside;
like showing up in places
without feeling the need to hide;
like letting my body dance
to a heartbeat, vibrant and new;
like the agony of a missing word
and the pleasure of kissing you.
If all we did together
was learn something deep and true,
that’s pretty much the only thing
we’ve ever needed to do;
to bring me closer to myself
and yourself closer to you
to fall in love with the one person
we’ll always be everything to.
