even in wake
the feeling of your skin
against my lips
the smell of your neck
fills me up
in one breath
the warmth you transfer
into my hands
the weightlessness brought
by sinking into your chest and
resting in your arms
i am yours
forever
i hope you will stay mine
i can't imagine a life without you anymore
to see you leave
is the saddest part of my week
and to leave your door
sends me into defensive mode
as i choke back tears
and crack jokes instead
to mask the bitterness
of walking away from you
i remember the first time i sank into your arms
and felt safer then i had ever felt before
and the moment
i knew
that this was home
i think of your eyes
how they pierce into the furthest parts of me
and at the same time
send electricity coursing through my body
just one sincere look
i think of how your hands search
for my body to hold
or my face to kiss
or for my own hands to hold
i think of how you lie with me
and tell me your secrets
i think of how we laugh
oh how we laugh
big, small, chuckles, and rolling
it never seems to stop
when i close my eyes, sweet man
every single time
i see your face, smiling
the sweetest smile i have ever seen
and i feel your heart
beating in my chest
because it is so big
that it
encourages mine
to beat even harder
and do better
because anything is possible.
your love is something i never thought existed
your entire person in fact
and i was not prepared
for the responsibility
of loving the greatest man alive
but i will give my greatest attempt
to love you entirely
unconditionally
respectfully
and hope that it is enough
to keep you by my side
my truest of trues
my deepest of loves
nothing else before you was real or true
my life was leading up to this point
when my heart could beat without fear
and my voice could speak without consequence
leading to you
and the beginning of it all
life
true life
founded on love and acceptance
when your fingers lock into mine
i know
we were always one
we have always been one
just as the universe illustrates
but now i can hear her
and the melodies of her work
singing quietly in the beating of your heart
and the exhale of your breath
we were always one
welcome to the beginning
of truth as we know it.
