DON'T

Don't
Don't breathe life into my soul unless you mean it
The very depth of those words are all I have
And all I've ever longed for

You see, you're a lighthouse, my lighthouse
And I've spent countless nights staring back at you
All until morning breaks and the sun awakes, robbing me of your beauty

The universe and its delicate swaying act of back and forths
I'm but a vessel, a castaway
Chasing the lamplight that scours and stretches across the night sky
In search of its counterpart
Oh, how I wish it was me you were searching for

Don't
Don't shy away
I've dreamed of you while lost in the desolate desert
Of rising tides and moonless nights
You're my due north

Your waves have made their way from coast to coast
Crashing against my bow and stern
Each one shaping the course of each twist and turn of fate
How I am enamored by your radiance and the way it calls out to me
Like sirens drawing me in

The ever-present desire to run aground against the edges of your banks
To kiss the ground beneath you
Forever binding me
Fixing me to your shore like lost treasure never to be seen again

I would shipwreck for nothing more than the taste of your love
For a place in your love
To feel safe in the love you hold fast to your chest
To even hear the utterance of those words
Merely the start of those words
Would capsize the very essence of me
Helplessly, Happily

Don't
Don't say it, not just yet
I've come too far and have waited too long
So what is one eternity more, if not a second longer, to stare in awe of you
Oh, how you must know that my soul yearns

To hear each letter dance from the deepest parts of your heart
Cascading flawlessly from your lips into my ears
Endlessly phosphorescent, incandescence
I bask in your light and the nectar of your truth
You're everything I could imagine
You're everything I never could have imagined

Don't
Not unless you believe me to be yours
Without question, without doubt, without concern
For what am I, if I am not yours?
What am I, if I am?
The push and pull of blue that has me tethered to this earth
In search of you
So don't
Unless you do

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
