I am alive.

From May 2007:

"Tell me I belong."

I can't help but wonder
If this is all a dream.
If this will all fade
Along with the silence,
The quiet slumber of the world,
As the sun rises again.

I can't help but know
That I will keep you safe
Even if you are just
An accumulation of gold dust
Within my fingertips,
An accumulation of everything
I dreamed you would be.

"I want to know what you know
And I want to go where you go."
