In philosophy
there are two schools of thought
The belief that you can
vs the belief that you ought
I can fully understand
your love as if it were my own
Or without being you first,
your love is alone

I cannot focus
on what either ask to be
The real question is and remains
if either allows you to see
What is the solution here
When you love so much
Holding you in arm’s embrace
Falls short to just touch

I need to feel the cotton mesh
To burrow in your mind
To sit deep inside, climb behind your skin,
That’s the only way you’ll find—
When you whisper
I love you
—My answer
Cannot be just and I love you too
The only way to truly know
is to breathe inside of you

For ***** and giggles
For wits and squiggles
I give permission to the gates to let through
what is true
It just so happens that the mind's natural reaction
is the most beautiful thing to reflect you

The curtain of the storm lifts to **** me in
Barely dried from the previous
Deep inhale before the dive in to find it's only mist
Moving panic down an assembly line
Until I learn I could've hid under your umbrella the whole time

The point is not to catch up.
It's to warm our hearts with the intensity of the moment,
as the blinking red light of our memory frames it.
Energy nods and contracts that this deal is done
We will stir and kick up life in our paths
which will only settle for one beat
the next time we meet again.
