my face turns blue,

the world fades to black.

the sounds muffle until your voice is gone.

and everything becomes cold.

i stop feeling quickly enough.

the pain resides easily.

gravity can’t hold me anymore.

i drift towards the clouds.

beautiful and free.

no worries in the world.

i can feel understanding at my fingertips.

this is my euphoria.

but a face in the clouds,

draws me back down.

those beautiful eyes.

that perfectly crooked smile.

euphoria is nothing compared to your love.

the sunlit clouds couldn’t wrap me in the same warmth as your arms.

there is no freedom like the laughter you give.

and no understanding like the one i’ll find in your eyes.

so back i come.

through the tingling cold

and burning lungs.

into the pain.

just for you.

always for you.
