worth the wait

do you think we've loved before?

have we walked the fires of hell?
drank poison? drowned?
have we been ripped apart?
turned on our love?
and here we are again.

it's a familiar love,
a calming storm.
a brand new passion
that we've felt before.

i caught your eye
when you were
too young to remember
and i dodged you
at the bar when
we were too
young to drink.

we've been here before.
how else could
i understand
finding home?
being whole?
knowing eternity.
it's all been just words
until now.

you are all i've been waiting for.

the winds
of fate
tossed us
around each
other like
autumn leaves
until finally
we fell.
