Tender Green

My love is the bed of grass that rests beneath our soles
My love is the painted wings of a monarch gleaming in the dust
In between, we vapors shall teem, between the words that my love shall bring
Without you, I am nothing

I'm here to help you get by on your own
You remind me to be present
My tender green, in the deep, hallowed in every respect
My tender green so far away, all I need is you

When you are gone, you are close in thought
When you are near, I am always better
Without you, I am nothing

Let us go then, you and I
I am no longer afraid when I'm with you
Please don't take this away from me
You are my everything
