Safe Haven
A feeling so surreal-
I've never felt this way before.
I swore I knew what love was-
but this with you is so much more.
The warmth it washes over me-
cleanses, my soul down to it's core.
For reasons unbeknownst to me-
feel that I know you from before.
A longing which has drawn me here-
with an aura so familiar.
Despite life's grief and heartache-
I am most grateful to be here.
See I do not believe-
we're simply, two halves, to a whole.
But two flames glowing brighter-
as fate, intertwines our souls
A push a pull, a give a take-
like two ends of a spectrum.
Yet still we find safe haven-
in eachother; feel so welcomed.
I know there's so much more ahead-
as we learn to take steps forward.
Just Know I crave to understand-
your mind and how it's coded.
The truth and the reality-
is that neither can explain it.
Still one way or another-
both our paths were integrated.
Just like baby birds-
as they prepare for their first leap.
With no reason, or no rhyme-
hold faith from high atop the trees.
And even without proof-
of if they'll live or or die.
Instinctively still throw themselves-
into the open skies.
Young birds they may not know much-
still know that they must try.
Because despite the unknown-
they know that they were born to fly.
