Isn't it wonderful
that when it's time to go
you don't
and when it's time to come
you do

It's nice isn't it,
when I put out my arm
at the top of the morning
I encounter you

and so great that when we have
seriousness
in the spaces in between
I encounter you again

so amazing, right?
that when I look at you
I see me
and in me, there you are

so sweet really,
that when we sleep
I breathe
in your smile
and in the morning
there it is on my lips
and I give it back, willingly
to you

Overwhelming as that is,
think of how incredible it would be
If you could see yourself
through me.
