themes: love, growth, self-expression

last year we used stiffened words

the words a formality you taught to me

we used words to sing and to dance

we used words to fight and to cry

we used words to yearn and to love

we used words to lose and to grieve

this year you learn words from my tongue

as my kiss floods the love in your soul

but when we lay here hearts wide open

i find no words to roll off my lips

there is nothing that can describe this

the way we taught each other to love

our words burn deep in the fire we built

drowning in the waters we created in us

all i can express is the sinking of the earth

when the air dances around our new home
