You are the light among my
existential darkness
The song that people sing
when they are in love
What better way to analogize you
than with the words that pass between
the lips of two humans
whose hearts have sewn
themselves together
for eternity

I look at you and see nothing but
possibility
I see hope hiding behind your eyes
and happiness holding tight to your teeth
when you smile

And what could possibly be better
than this?
This moment where we are alone with
each other and the world

My pillows know all of our secrets
and my sheets smell like your skin
You kiss my face and leave half moons
on your favorite parts of my neck
One hand lost in the ocean of my hair
the other exploring the dips of my spine
Our bodied tied together like a knot
that no amount of time could hope
to untie

And while we're talking about time
no stretch of it could ever
be enough with you

You are a church that never closes,
a sun that doesn't set,
a wall clock beautifully frozen

Let me worship you

You are a forest fire
and I
am but a single match
envying the ferocity
of your flame

And time is the greatest tease of all
I am wrist deep inside your chest
working away at the gears
that move the hands of time
Begging them to stop

Wishing on every single shooting star,
every birthday candle,
every penny,
That when we're alone with each other
and the world,
and the walls of my bedroom
are eavesdropping on our
moonlit pillow talk

The night decides to stretch on into infinity
and the sun never bothers to rise
