Sweetly Hopeless

When the sound of them breathing

puts you at ease

When the darkest parts of their eyes

Make your whole body full with light

When they laugh you feel the joy

in your own chest

When you catch eyes for a moment

When you can’t help but smile when you notice they are near

When you know what they are thinking and they know you

When they understand the pain you feel

And they want to relieve it

When you are torn apart by the things that have broken them

When you imagine a life that can’t exist without them

When you embrace one another

When you are unable to go on without the thought of these

That’s when

When you know you’re hopeless
