beauty that we are

I couldn't believe it
when I saw you
I didn't think it could be real

I don't know if you ever knew this
I don't believe I ever said

I think it is because
I never knew

you

i never knew

me too

i didn't know because
some things aren't formed
some things exist fragmented

i was fragmented
i was a million pieces

you didn't know me
because i wasn't one thing

i guess that's always true
i am only my last performance

but sometimes its truer than others
now slowly i become
the boy inside is revealed and

i am able to breathe again
i no longer survive

i live

to live to laugh to love
to run to skip to cry
to feel
this

there is no contest
no ultimate goal
there is no superior knowledge or even ability

my path
is to open my heart to you
is to open my heart to me
and offer myself

to open

my heart

there lies
there in stark nakedness
there is
that which was always
is now here
with us
with me

it used to appear occassionally
from no where
and disappear as quick
but now

its here

and its beautiful

as it always was and always will be
beauty that we are
