i know what it feels like
to build a coral castle for the one you love
to lift one thousand one hundred stones with only your heart
in the hopes that your first love will return to you someday
but she never will

i know what it is to
hold your heart in your own hand....offer it to a lover
only to have to cut off that arm
to get away from the sound of your own heartbreaking

i know what it is like to
have your leg blow off on the battle field of love
to never walk again... only to swim
to be mistaken as a mermaid
lifted out of the ocean
and never put down again

i have loved to much
loved to little
been chased by the sun
while chasing the moon
and now understand why a vase can only get so full

i have been held by love
while dying from love
pain never fades
love never fades
it's just something they say
but... suns... rise
and... suns... set
thankfully

I have loved more people then i should
though less then i thought i would

but like magnets, moon, and all things that spin
nothing thing is static
the flow is all there is
lay exposed in the river of love
throw up your hands up and threw your fingers
let it flow
do not try to hold it
but let it hold you
