Closer, Stronger, Deeper

"We tell ourselves the heart wants what it wants, that we can't control it, but that's just a convenient romantic lie. We choose our loves. Second by second, minute by minute, day by day, year in and year out. If we're lucky, what we choose makes us happy. If we're not so lucky, it doesn't."
-Candace Steele (Eternal Hunger by Cameron Dean)




I chase something closer
  to the sun and your brilliant heart
  like a star, wrapped deep in unwavering love
but something in me knows that I don't have the power

That I need to be stronger
    to choose you and to fight this war
  no matter the scars, warring for the taste of truth
where oceans are skies of thunder
            and thunderous was the sound of you

So I'm fighting underwater, deeper
      breathing your love and drowning my heart
  as I fall infinitely far, in hopes that someday I'll become
  the one you're pulling nearer
somewhere, further
        so far away and so much closer to the sun
