i believe in things
that you cannot touch or see
i believe in a kiss,
things that spring from lips
or spill from eyes and hearts.

i believe in the unseen,
thoughts or sounds
that come clean and dry
alighting in at quiet moments
and finally resting on your fingertips
eyelashes
or the sunshine in your hair.

i believe in things
that have no explanation
when words won't come
because they're all
such an understatement
of what you really feel.

i believe in how you look at night
and the way the
sunlight dances in your hair,
the way you kiss me
with your soul and
hold me like i'm falling away
even though i'm not.

i believe in you
and me
and
i finally
believe in fairytales.
