if only you knew...

how much i loved you

these days a new chapter 

of always never and i heard a song on the radio the other day

it made me think of the covenant we made

and the moon (the faithful witness) shining on all things what if

some day sunday i am going to tell you a story

of how we've come to this place

but until then

i'll keep tapping my foot and clapping my hands 

and singing those words

even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death...

[oh no, you never let go!]

tonight i am thankful

for the beauty exchanged for the ashes left behind

and even though i walk with a limp

still i walk, and

for this reason 

i give thanks.
