Maybe it’s because your voice haunts me
Maybe it’s the way your eyes burned into my brain
Maybe it’s the unconditional way you love me
Maybe it’s because your words wrap around my heart
Maybe it’s the way you need me
Maybe it’s the desire inside when we’re together
Maybe it’s the way I miss the things I’ve never felt
Maybe it’s the emotions I’ve never known before
Maybe it’s the warmth you give me when I’m cold
Maybe it’s how I can feel you with me despite our distance
Maybe it’s the way we finish each other’s sentences
Maybe it’s how you keep me going
Maybe it’s because I ache for you when we can’t talk
Maybe it’s because I can’t tolerate myself without you
Maybe it’s the way I hurt when I know you’re hurting
Maybe it’s the smile thinking about you puts on my face
Maybe it’s the subtle distraction of your effect on me
Maybe it’s the way you inspire me to be more than I am
Maybe it’s how I want you with me every second of my life
Maybe it’s knowing we’re two halves of the same whole
Maybe it’s because you’re everything to me
Maybe I need to stop wondering how I learned to love you so much
When I was sure I couldn’t love anyone again...
- L.C., 2001 (Only you, Arynne... how you were a part of me for so long and I never knew you were there... how could I not know what was missing in my life and how you could come back to me and reopen all those doors closed for so many years... I'll never know...)
