to look at you––
to be with you
always––
this is love.
to care for you
& be cared for––
this is love.
to choose to be
with you
forever––
to be near
to your affirming
heart––
this is love.
we are here
to explore
this universe
& every universe
hereafter––
you are a universe
& i am a universe
& we hug ourselves
into our own universe
together.
eons pass
with the wind
as seasons––
& as sure as
we’re born
we will be
together––
this is love.
holding my hand
through more pain
than i could ever
imagine––
holding my hand
to pull me out
of the darkness––
nursing me through
incredible
suffering––
this is love.
without you––
i wouldn't have
a chance
to make it
anywhere
alive.
it's good to see
two hearts
so close together––
we are never
alone––
there is no end
to our beginning––
no outside in
or inside
out.
this is love.
