Yet
Wouldn't it be so beautiful to begin each day
Where our first breaths are each other?
The sun through the blinds warming our skin
The sweet air of you filling my lungs
Relishing in being interwoven together
Just five more minutes, five more times
Couldn't we run away hand in hand
And let our feet carry us wherever they may?
Couldn't we be any place on earth
In any climate, in any country
And the most spectacular sight would still be the way we look at each other?
Couldn't our love move mountains and part seas
And sprout new life and emanate its own rays of warmth?
What need do we have for money and material
When we are swimming in a wealth of pure, unadulterated bliss
Simply to be in our own company?
I know I haven't met you
But I can already see your eyes
How they trap me and transport me to a timeless place
I can already feel how they level me
Both quickening and slowing my heartbeat in the same moment
I know I haven't met you
But I can already taste your lips on mine
Even in the early morning they are the sweetest honey to ever dance across my tongue
All of my nerves and neurons firing at top speeds
No matter how many times you kiss me
I know I haven't met you
But I can already feel your skin
Soft and warm under my fingertips
I can already feel my palms sliding over every curve and contour of you
Fulfilling the lifelong urge to touch the art in museums
Because I have a masterpiece right here with me
I know I haven't met you
But I can already hear your laugh
More infectious than any contagion
Lighting up all spaces surrounding you
Shooting 5,000 cc’s of dopamine directly into my veins
The rush reminding me how blessed I am
To have met a soul like you
So please my love, I beg you
Hurry to me
I know our paths are laid out
Written in the stones that line our walkways
But if you could walk quickly
If you could stretch towards me as I stretch towards you
If you could jump into my arms as we meet and wrap yourself around me
I could promise to live all of my days in devotion to you
I could promise to follow you anywhere if you'll let me
Let me learn how to love you
Let me cherish you in every way you've dreamed of
Let me cook your favorite meals and rub your shoulders after long days
Let me wash your back and lace your shoes
Let me carry you when you're weak and cheer for you at every milestone
Let us build a home together
To live out our life worth living
Let us start each day
Breathing each other in
The sun through the blinds warming our skin
