amicus animae

i'll never be able to write the words you should always hear.

no definition, nor explanation, nor articulation 

could mold itself to what i feel.

because terms that rest on shoulders 

of immature and young hearted lips

waste time on phrases so shallow

and trash meanings you know exist.

i'll never have to ask you questions that burn my heart

and i'll never need reaffirmation of who i am in this space

because you and i are together

though very far away

and i want you to know 

all the comfort i have

even though it's hard to say.

that in no other realm i can think of

and no other travel i could seek

would i find someone else 

who would love me this way

because you are my solid foundation through it all

through sorrow and pain

through laughter and love

and for this i could never repay you

and you need to know all of this

though i may lose you 

in moments between here and there

you'll always be the one

who understands

and can see me through wretched days

i'll never be able to explain to you

all the reasons i feel this way

but the best part of me

is the best part of you; 

there is nothing more i could say.
