My Favored

My Favored 

My heart beats faster when you are near. 
I can not think straight. 
I have been blindsided by a moving truck, 
that has no tangible substance. 

Your beauty is breathless, 
as that is the feeling I have...
I can not keep up with the dreams
that I wish to make... with you. 
The hopes that I want to dare... with you. 

Nothing in my life will be the same, ever. 
I will long to learn to replay time. 
I will build a machine. 
I will travel back and forth, 
again and again, 
replaying every day from the first moment
to the last, even smaller than a second.
The sound of echoes across the span, 
angels weeping not with sadness but joy. 
They laugh as I dance for God. 
I make a fool of myself, 
only...
and for you. 

I stand on the wide oceans beach, 
and am ready to swim. 
I stand at the cliffs edge, 
and I am ready to fly. 
But if I drown so be it, 
But if I fall, I die. 
I will have lived long enough, 
to have loved beyond,
all thought ever possible, 
and humbly measured
not by tape or rule, 
but of faith, 
empathy.
