Last Call

Last Call

I saved my best
For you
It seems
I lay beside you
Relaxed
Raw
And ready
To give you all of me
My secrets
My fears
My hidden me
I saved my best
For you
Knowing you would
Be my last
My one true love
My only love
As I lay here
Pouring my life
Into you
I can no longer
Run from the sun
Which is you
When I open my eyes
And breathe the air
That fills my lungs
With the feel of you
All over it
I saved my best
For you
Hoping
Wishing
Praying
Someday you would come
And release me
Of my own
Not enough ness
Not more
But not less
I saved the best
For you
Dreaming
Wondering
Saying
I will
I do
To everything
That I am
And will be
With and because
Of you
I saved the best
Of you
So I may win
To say I've won
To discover
To reinvent
To explore
To adore
All that you are
As we share
This silent
Abyss called love
Yes
I've saved the best
For you
Knowing
We
And I
Yes you
Deserves
All of me
The best of me
And
I give it to you
Without hesitation
Holding nothing
That would stand
In the way
To my loving you
Completely
Today
I saved my best
For you
In honor
And
Out of loyalty
That love has
Found its way
Back to me
Once more
"Saying"
Hello again
I saved my best
For you
