Like the vast emptiness of space
I am expanding and contracting
to the thought of seeing you
my expanse littered with uncountable
self governed thoughts

My origin lies within you,
the source of everything that I am

You would do well to see
that without you I cannot exist

Soon I will be infinitesimally small,
a mere quark, beyond the reach of observation
and I will still be yours to have and hold
for as long as you will want me

For then I will be just an idea,
a wisp of the imagination,
your most deeply buried emotion

You would have to devote
the entirety of yourself to keeping me
safe from the fleeting nature of the mind
if you wished to keep me

Will you?
