“the kind of stories that people turn life into,

the kind of lives people turn stories into”

isn’t that just what I promised you

when we both pushed fear

to the bottom of the page

because we liked the beginning

too much to second guess

isn’t love just as simple

and just as complicated

as we have all tasted it

isn’t being here the pleasant shiver that fits my skin so well

isn’t your warmth the way I have always wanted to wake up

isn’t today just another love note we have written each other

and when I run out of words

aren’t we the beautiful I have been chasing here

now I have turned around and

this is what we have built

with a summer (or two) apart,

a cross country trip,

some wrenches thrown

straight to the heart

and now in the same city

something to build our own

our story to tell

even when I’m second guessing

my chaos hums with your fire

my insides burn with your song

why should I be caring about the universe

when everything I’ve built is in my hands?
