to be alone with you.

it's how it feels like the whole world glows on her skin and i can touch it
how the universe built the sun out of her smile
and the stars out of her eyes
how it made the moon her mother
the sky her playground
and the clouds her bed
it's how comets are seen when she's running around
and meteors crash when she's upset
it's how the universe created this perfect creature to let me know how beautiful it really is
i believe it now because i've seen its beauty
because i've touched her and even smelled her
and because i love her
even if she will never be mine, knowing she exists makes me believe

Sufjan Stevens- To Be Alone With You


i'd swim across lake michigan
i'd sell my shoes
i'd give my body to be back again
in the rest of the room
to be alone with you
