William Shakespeare said "When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew," and this happens to us every morning.
I put my lips to your chest, so I know what your breath feels like.
So when I mason jar my lungs and tell you to take it somewhere I have never been, somewhere far, far away, and you open it up in Utah, I'll recognize the whisper of "I love you" under the 2000 miles it traveled back to me.
And I'll wish it was you, so I could hold you into my arms and sink you into my lungs.
"Love," I'll say, *"Keep the jar. You'll need it every time I look at you."
