Letter to a lover

Not sure if I want to leave this one as it is, or include it as the ending to some larger poem. We'll see.
-------------

You will never be my happily ever after,

You will always be my for better or for worse

And I know it doesn’t sound that romantic,

But the thing about pedestals is that they only keep us apart,

The higher I raise you, the harder it is to see you

and I already had pretty terrible eyesight

let me carry you down, step by step

let me lower you from your tower and

hold your hands in mine.

Only here, on even ground,

 can I feel your breath against my chest

Only here, face to face,

Can I see all that you are and all that you aren’t

Because you are enough,

You have always been enough.
