stille nacht

we stood there naked. your fingers impressed on the small of my back. i had a knife, cold and fluid cutting through the strawberries. ripe from the spring sunshine. there was a warm breeze coming from a window, just a few feet away, mellowed by the soft sheets it flew across.

i love these moments with you, when not only my body, but my mind is also free. and a peace comes over me, that I am not quite familiar with. If it weren't for that peace I have when I am around you, I wouldn't be walking down that aisle in less than two months. I wouldn't lock my hands and life in yours, with complete abandon, if I didn't realize that there was a person inside of me waiting for you all along.

I can't say that you released me, but you helped me to release myself. I was never a prisoner, but I was my own jailer, locking my own mind and body daily within themselves. Now we fly on the wind together, and our dreams have boundaries unknown. Our destination, is everywhere, as long as we are next to each other.

we are feathers flowing in wind
we are but flames consuming the wind
