one purpose

Feels like I'm coming around,
so finally

To see everything is how
it's always been. But now
it's for me

It's mine, you've set it aside, and
you're showing me

So if life really gets to be
like this,
why were we even complaining,
let alone
so mightily?

And I want to believe,
it's true

all of it,
not just the good parts.
But I can't find anything bad
to even it out to believable

I feel like I've missed half the world,
half my life, not knowing you

I want to spend the rest of our lives
dancing to
each other's music

I think we were meant to

So tell me
what you think of that,
and of everything

and everywhere
The same view I've always looked out from
isn't there

I'm seeing it all as if this
is a world

in which I could live, with you
It's making me think all the people
are secretly good
they're just waiting for me and you
to be in on this

And I want to believe it's true

all of it, not
just the good parts.
But I can't find anything bad
to even it out
to believable

I feel like I've missed half the world,
half my life, not knowing you

I want to spend the rest of our lives
dancing to
each other's music

as if we were meant to

And this is one purpose in life
there may be others,
but this is surely one.
And everything could have led up
to something else, entirely wrong.
But in fact, everything has led up
to this, and this
has made everything fit,
and make sense, and work,
and come back. I just wish
that I hadn't had
so many defenses built up
from trying to live
through the lack.

And I want to believe it's true

all of it, not just
the good parts.
But I can't find anything bad
to even it out
to believable

I feel like I've missed half the world,
half my life, not knowing you

I want to spend the rest of our lives
dancing to

each other's music

and I mean to.

If you mean to?
We are meant to
