I'm floating...on feelings...
Up, up and up toward the ceiling in the the sky.

The weightlessness began at cloud one.
A few hours spent in chatter.
Laughter and smiles from the earliest moments.

Cloud two swirling inside my head.
The movements and hues are varietal in their beauty.
Made of a language created by you and me.

The hope to cloud three occurred so easily.
Realizing your importance in the day to day.
Missing you felt natural.

Peace and calm quiet your inner voice.
All that was needed was a hand in mine.
How comfortable I am enveloped in cloud four.

Secrets exchanged and memories shared...
Create cloud five of trust, the listening ear, the voice of reason.
Deep breaths taken and ties strengthened.

The use of three words so often said too readily.
Love...you...for...being...exactly...you!
Cloud six can be described in one word...patience.

Cloud seven was a night of unexpected surprises.
The verbal return of feelings took my breath away.
Sweet nothings with a kiss or two gave it back.

Meditation and observation began while enjoying cloud eight.
Strong emotions of love, friendship, companionship, passion.
Knowing that losing you was no longer a necessary fear.

The fall of the walls built to protect.
Boundaries crossed and moments of shared pleasure.
Knowledge that all is well and will be well let to cloud nine.

Here I am...in the sky...
Always your friend...and completely in love...with you.
