Don't, don't breathe life into my soul unless you mean it
It's the very depths of those words are all I have and all I've ever longed for
You see? You're a lighthouse, my lighthouse
And I've spent countless nights staring back at you
All until morning breaks and the sun awakes, robbing me of your beauty
The universe and its delicate swaying act of back and forth
I'm but a vessel, a castaway
Chasing the lamp light that scours and stretches across the night sky in search of its counterpart
Oh, how I wish it was me you were searching for

Don't, don't shy away
I've dreamed of you while lost in the desolate desert of rising tides and moonless nights
You're my due north
Your waves have made their way from coast to coast
Crashing against my bow and stern
Each one shaping the course of each twist and turn of fate
How I am enamoured by your radiance and the way it calls out to me
Like sirens, drawing me in
The ever-present desire to run around against the edges of your banks
To kiss the ground beneath you
Forever binding me
Fixing me to your shore like lost treasure never to be seen again
I would shipwreck for nothing more than the taste of your love
For a place in your love
To feel safe in the love you hold fast to your chest
To even hear the utterance of those words, merely the start of those words
Would capsize the very essence of me
Helplessly, happily

Don't, don't say it, not just yet
I've come too far and I've waited too long
So what is one eternity more if not a second longer to stare in awe of you?
Know, how you must know
That my soul yearns to hear each letter dance from the deepest parts of your heart
Cascading flawlessly from your lips into my ears
Endlessly phosphorescent incandescence I bask in your light and the nectar of your truth
You're everything I could imagine
You're everything I never could have imagined

Don't, not unless you believe me to be yours
Without question, without doubt, without concern
For what am I if I am not yours? What am I if I am?
The push and pull of blue that has me tethered to this earth in search of you
So don't, unless you do
