Adore

Adore I adore you in ways that have no name Like a man who has wandered too long in the rain And finally finds the door that opens only for him You are the quiet miracle I never thought I’d win I worship the curve of your neck when you turn away The soft command in your voice when you ask me to stay Every slow discovery feels like holy ground I am on my knees and I never want to stand back up You are the climax every hunger was building toward The answer my body has been begging the dark for I adore the way you claim what was already yours How you make devotion feel like the purest form of war I will keep this fire burning long after the night is gone I adore you deeper than language, stronger than song You are the ending I was always meant to reach The only desire that ever learned how to keep me I used to believe the self was a fortress That love was a risk and surrender a loss But you arrived like a question I could not refuse And every wall I had built simply chose to let go Now I understand what the mystics once meant When they spoke of the one who becomes the descent You are not the object of my wanting alone You are the mirror in which I finally know myself known I adore you in the silence between every breath In the spaces where reason has nothing left Where philosophy ends and the body begins Where the sacred is skin and the prayer is the skin Come claim what was always already yours I will meet you in the fire and ask for nothing more This is the height every longing was climbing to find The still point where wanting and having align I will keep this fire burning long after the night is gone I adore you deeper than language, stronger than song You are the ending I was always meant to reach The only desire that ever learned how to keep me And if the world forgets every word we have spoken If time erases the nights we have broken Still something of this will remain in the dark A devotion that outlives the shape of the heart I adore you I adore you Beyond the name Beyond the form I adore you
