"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." -Pablo Neruda


You are not defined
By the books you’ve read
Or what people have said
You are not defined
By the things you’ve done
Or the words you’ve sung
You are not defined
By the lies you’ve told
Or how hard you’ve tried to ‘fit the mold’
You are defined
By the smiles you try to hide
And the secrets you confide
You are defined
By the sparkle in your eye
And the one who you call mine
You are defined
By the daydreams you’ve found yourself living
And the people you’ve forgiven
I don’t know when we forgot
And thought
We were defined
By all the things we’re not
