“When it comes to loving you

there are no foul intentions.

There are no strings attached

when it comes to weaving

our vessels together,

there are only knots of clarity.

I have not learned to love you

with bitter thoughts in my mind.

I do not pin any actions of others

in my past to your hands

when all you’ve ever placed

inside of mine is hope and certainty.

My love for you is not here

to put on a show for anyone

who wants to see if this really is

everything they’ve been told about.

But if you want me to hold it high

for everyone to see, I will use

all of my strength to lift our love up

for the world to soon be as amazed

as I was when I finally realized

that this is better than what

we’ve ever been told about.”
