Beautiful By Association

 

 
Where do I begin again
When the words don't come like they use to
After the thought of all we've yet
And have already gone through

Instrumental in the orchestration
I found myself when I fell in love with you
This life is what we make of it in what we do

More than passing, making meaning of every moment
You are my pulse and life support

Feeling our way around in the dark
Despite all that lays claim to be our loves cessation
Everything is better when I'm with you
Everything is beautiful by association

Gardener, tending to the seasons of my soul
Green thumb and thimble, knit into the scenery
Heart heist, given to the same that stole
Love and cross threads lined within the tapestry

We pride not ourselves in our wounds but in our healing
Despite the ways that sorrow boasts, we glory not in the pain
Cause the sun outshines the darkest nights
And cleansing comes by way of hopes bloodstain

Love stories in the romance of redemption
You are God's personal expression to me of grace
For all the things I've done that aim to squander us
Fade-less are my vows when I look upon your face

More than an image I behold but something that I know
No matter how many times I've fallen, you'll never let me go
A thousand apologies and guilty pleas when I think of all I've done
Mercy extended to reinvest in the best of me after just year one

My vows won't end at words alone
When actions are the best way to amend
Death powerless to separate divine uniting

In your eyes is where I find my home
As I savor every moment with my God send
When you are my reason to keep on fighting

Finding myself when I get lost with you
Beyond touch or just a feeling or sensation
In this world where death lives and darkness prevails
All of this is an illusion when life is beautiful by association

I breathe and you make it all worthwhile
When all this world harbors is matchless to the wonder of your smile...
