I am a defiance to my own truth,
I am a flame,
oh how I burn for you.
I am a cascade of water,
falling into your stream.
all around you,
all for you.
I am the ground you walk on,
what holds your structure.
I am your sun,
your brightest star.
I am the miles placed between us,
I'll be with you wherever you are.
I am the hope that ties you together,
laced with good intentions yet also angst.
I am everything within you,
I am everything for you.
and no,
I will not subside myself into the arms of another.
