Wild (For You)

Violet hillsides in full bloom
From the first touch
I've been wild (for you)

Birdsong by the twilight moon
From the first kiss
I've grown wild (for you)

The willow's weeping autumn broom
From the first night
I've felt wild (with you)

Like the hummingbird's sugary swoon
From the first dance
I've ran wild (with you)

Autumn

We were kids on a cold September day

I made you chicken soup, I was so excited

We had been texting for weeks, about to make the leap

That first night is one I'll never forget

I remember sitting at the park, nestled beneath the slide

Trying to see your eyes through the moon

Reflecting in your lenses

You were cold, so we shared a jacket

And a kiss I'll never forget

It felt like the first all over again

We talked, we cried,

Neither of us had felt seen before

That blessed moment

It was then, beneath the embrace

of a chilly autumn kiss

I knew my life would change

forever

To be loved by you is

a clearing of wildflowers

amongst a charred forest

(reawakening my heart)

To be loved by you is

a quiet sunny shore

in the middle of a bustling city

(peace in your presence)

To be loved by you is

the warmth of a fireside

on a chilly summer night

(your mundane is magic)

To be loved by you

is a breath of air

gifted to a dying lung

(you saved me)

Your eyes are filled

with endless minerals

drenched in flecks of warm honey

Your eyes are wild

with a fire that hasn't burned

like this before, least not for me

Your eyes take me places

I never thought I'd see

beneath your wonderous gaze...

I am free

Burning leaves fall to grey

Like winter winds after a summer's day

Through it all our love won't change

Roaming steeds from foals at play

Like Spring streams in Autumn's decay

Through it all our love won't change.
