the light

beyond my words

i really wanted to write
something beautiful.

something that meant something,
like you meant to me.

with words,
strung along to metaphors,
that could possibly compare,
the incredible night i had,
to your breathtaking presence.

but the words fall short,
everytime.

and my mind couldn't quite comprehend,
your beautiful soul,
standing but a few feet away.

because all i seem to really remember,
is the moment you stepped on stage,
glowing and beautiful,
like an angel:
a figment of my little imagination.

and all i seem to remember
is when your voice,
lulled me into a trance,
and your lips formed the words,
of my favorite songs,
the world feeling
just a little bit less blurry.

the world feeling just how it was supposed to be:
you,
singing,
and a crowd,
listening,
hanging off of every word,
capturing every sentiment,
you could possibly ever
believe to give.

my little heart growing large,
as your sweet words poured out,
and i could think of nothing else.

because words whispered miles away,
mean a whole lot more,
standing face to face -
when the concepts,
seem like something real,
something spectacular and sweet.

and your words mean more,
than i could ever think to give,
my own words seeming small,
compared to what you've done for me.
