all that makes 
my flesh and bones
was once an element 
of something more
you and I
feel like a spectral dream
where we fell in love
in the quiet moments
that were gone 
before we even realized
they were there

I hear the whispering 
of your name
in my chest
Intertwined with the beating
of my heart
where the fragility 
of a second
feels like a lifetime
and in one single moment
I feel the entirety
of your love
where we are unbound
by gravity

if you listen closely 
to the gentle echoing
inside the spaces
between my words 
you’ll find me there
writing love letters
into the universe 
hoping they find their way
to you 
and stitch themselves
to your heart
for you to read always

at times
she feels like a novel 
thinking of all the people
who have stumbled 
upon her story
thumbed through certain pages 
and closed it 
before it was even finished
but you
you read every letter
every line
every chapter
and even go back
to read it again

you and I
meet in a field
of wildflowers
where the stars
are so beautiful
it makes our souls ache
a place we live
beyond the edge of time
within the space 
of you and I
this is where I want to stay
where I am free
and we exist
only in each other

at times
you feel like poetry
soft and gentle 
like the beating
of my heart
or the soft whispers
of a summer breeze
upon my hair
but there are times
that I can feel you
flooding my veins
like a storm
ready to burst
from my skin
