The Night We First Met
Discussing Distress
The night we first met, I instantly knew I would not stop thinking about you for at least a week
At least
Night time swimming and conversation brimming with purpose
We discussed our distress with this reality and all the excess
What a mess
What a harsh, damn mess
And as we drove back
Fear would attack
You broke down the barriers
Told me of the track your life had been on
Wanting to move along
To feel some tender warmth and deep connection
Real emotion and soft perfection
I was hooked
We stayed pretty consistent
And I loved how present our conversations would be
When we discussed our shared entropy
The sadness encased in cultural melancholy
Our hearts were both broken
But by different beasts
And so hungry we were
But no food to feast
Just a hope that if we kept talking about how sad and sorrowful we were
Maybe
Just maybe
It would give us the courage to feel again
And from there to act
And in fact
I was asked why I found you so attractive
And no thoughts came to mind
For I would find
Our connection was deeper then I could think
It was a Heart felt drink
A safe brink for us to discuss
All the sadness, terror, fear and puss
You gave me hope of a better tomorrow
By being so honest with your genuine sorrow
We spent one night physically connected
And a few days mentally misdirected
And as I inspected
I found myself okay with the confusion
For you were worth that delusion
And although you said no
I knew my love would always grow
I knew that inside you was a glowing sun of wonder and strength so raw and radical it would crack mountains and break bridges
And so I crossed my own emotional ridges
I saw my sadness and let it be
Told myself you were worth all the misery
Kissed my pity goodbye and let my sorrow sink
So our friendship could build
And my love would be filled
And my heart would be thrilled
Knowing you were being true
I am so unbelievably glad I met you
