I look over my shoulder you’re watching me, with a green tree-frog sitting on your shoulder. You’re both smiling. So am I. Your photograph goes on repeating its smile, day after day, it never tires or has a day off, just waits to share a bit more of your enthusiasm.
You’re there as I wake each morning reminding me we’re inseperable. Even now I can hear you say, “you know the river finds its way, you know the tree was once a seed..."
Two thousand kilometres, seperate cities, seperate lives serve the paradox of our closeness.
Your photograph reminds me love will reveal itself with each day. The 'I that loves you' is beyond us both, to understand it is as impossible as interpreting the smile of frogs or the speech of trees.
'I love you' lives outside a definition; there’s simply no explanation needed as we inhale.
