| i've been watching bodies. hands in motion, on a rising and falling chest. heads nestled into the neck of a lover, eyes staring distant as feelings settle in. the tense moment when vulnerability hits, and the body can't contain the emotion. and i see myself in all of it. i see my body next to yours, naked after a night of falling and rising. the tears the other night when our lives became a bit more complicated, and a little piece of joy i would have never expected found a place. in the expectation layering my skin and mind as you travel closer by the hour. i see myself the knots not knowing how to unwind, how to release and find balance. but every moment with you brings me closer. it seems a great epiphany would come, some vast knowledge of how it all works. all being life. and how love is tied into that, how necessary. how necessary the hearts that beat each moment and how needed to share that blessing. to share a moment with you is beyond my greatest hope. to have found you is a miracle in itself. i tell you i love you, but how simple the words when everything behind them is more. it's the moments when i would do anything, truly anything, with you. when i would almost break because my heart seems to keep filling. it's a surrender i couldn't know, wouldn't have known, without you. and i saw you today in that simple motion of head, as it lay on a shoulder. in the aching emotion that escapes in sighs and tears, not of sadness, but of a great need that i can't deny anymore. that need is you. |
