timeousness

you came along at the perfect time.
the day after my loneliness was about to eat me alive.
my feet were just about sticking out vanity's mouth.
i tell you the truth here.
it's amazing how i thought i needed no one,
but as soon as friends present themselves
i can't wait to tear off the bows and wrapping paper
and call them my very own,
and never let them go.
companionship is so underrated.
poor hermits
crawled up into their shells.
and hiding behind beards
and height.
i needed more, and He provides perfection.
go figure.
i expect so little, and He gives more than i deserve.
but i did go in with my heart more open than it's ever had to be.
i knew it was the right time.
so i'm just myself,
and i trip on the corners of these wide concrete slabs,
and i wear the trousers 2 sizes too big,
and i don't care.
because He (and he) accepts me for me.
and tonight i'll dream of you
(you do seem a dream anyway, even at the opening of my eyelids)
and maybe call you out in my sleep.
because i miss you
most of all.
above everything/one/body.
