meridian.

your flesh
mixing into mine like colored paints, slowly churning into each other
our lips dancing together with the excitement of not having each other's company in months
I hold you as you shudder while asleep, like you always do
I don't mind your sleeping sounds, because it means you exist
next to me
I feel complete again
like I can breathe with 100% of my lungs now

I love you more than my next breath
and I'll never let you down again

I don't want to love like this anymore
because I can't handle it when it inevitably ends

you've convinced yourself I'm this terrible person that I never was.
to make it easier for you, because you believe liars, whatever.  I guess it doesn't matter anymore. 
you've given up, when I never gave up on you.
such a tragedy, all of it.  my mistakes, and yours.

I can't handle loving on this level and losing it on this level.  my heart cannot take it. 

you think whatever you want to now.  there are a thousand pictures with your smiles in them that tell the real story.  there are a million memories that tell the real story. 
I'll cherish those forever, and I'll hope you find what you're looking for,
and I'll love you forever.
