Music: Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love (Acoustic version)


Beluga

There is something peaceful and timeless about the way you love me

Raised at opposite ends of the globe
of cultures

Yet

When you climb into a tree with me now
and kiss me
it is as though you climb into every tree I ever climbed
to hide above the world and breathe
with me

When you take me to places I love
and you couldn't know how much I love them
it is as though you were there with me as I smiled and laughed
through my past
in the places I loved

You reach out and touch those parts of me that were lonely and unseen
as a child
and you make them feel at home, seen and loved

Effortlessly
Gleaming

You seem to know me as only my family does

This is so sensuous and romantic. Full of the discoveries of a first love. Innocent and beautiful.
