and

you stopped in your tracks to me...

crying at my desk
not unlike you over my words
only now
it's me over you over me
better than the boy
writing the song about me
(that I never really liked anyway)
better than anything
I ever thought I wanted
as we write the next chapter
full of everything
we'd ever dreamed
I love you
so totally and completely
my soul is singing with it
yes
these are only words
and thank you
just doesn't hold enough
weight
for your words
and your moments
and your love
and your patience
and for opening the cage
for me
years ago
it just took me so long
to figure out
that I was already free...
