because we are

i am consciously
in love with you––

i am unconsciously
in love with you

you fill my heart
with days of happiness
& light

i walk with you
in wonder
witnessing how
you cherish
the flowers
& how they
whisper to
your hands

your smile
& your laughter
bless the air &
clouds & grass
& especially
me

i may be breathing
on my own
but you make me
alive––

you promised
to be with me––
& i am always
near to you

we are what
we are
with bumps &
warts & bruises––

days pass
& we grow
older

the hours make us
sleepy

as our hearts grow
closer
together

there is beauty
in every right &
wrong
with us––

we don’t need
to pray for a miracle
because we
are

our loving is
a riddle &
a reality––

a fact of life &
forever

when our hearts
stop
& our breath
re-enters the
sky

we will swirl
together
in the gentle
magnetism of
what was meant
to be
