#become one

I would bleed for your lips.

I know I would feel love

if I just felt them burning against mine.

I know I’d feel tears in my eyes.

Not a day would go by

that you wouldn’t let me feel them—

to let me know.

I’ve seen your eyes a hundred times,

and I want to see them a lifetime more.

I see the ache in them,

the knowing I’m your certainty.

I want to fade into your body like a ghost

when you see me that way.

The walks after work,

just to hear about your day,

and the soft accent that comes

when you talk to me—

I would love you for just that alone,

to spend that time meaningfully.

You bring meaning into everything you give me,

and I have been touched
