I felt the words rise and die before their birth, before they made a sound, before the mouth womb yield. I saw within your eyes the turning of the earth, a contact to be found, a beauty that appealed. I dreamed the walls descend to dust and nothing more, my secrets open wide for you to look upon. I care, my sweetest friend, my love I so adore, I know it deep inside, all doubt is dead and gone. I pray for you to know my loneliness is fled, the space you occupy fills all that I could be. I need to tell you so, no words I've ever said could hope to clarify how much you mean to me.
