All We Are

"All We Are" - Matt Nathanson

I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Bought and sold like property
Sugar on my tongue

I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

I wasted, wasted love for you
Traded out for something new
Well, it's hard to change the way you lose
If you think you've never won

'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

And in the end the words won't matter
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain

'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful

I fell in love with this song after hearing it in an episode of NCIS. It resonates with me, especially after this past year of re-learning to love more than one person and figuring out all of the intricacies of poly. Of love, of jealousy, of compersion, communication, and understanding. But most of all, of learning to enjoy the company of another person without needing to have restrictions imposed by titles.

I love, and that is enough.
