Here, take my hand.

Follow me into the unknown.
We run through the dense, wet greenery,
We explore to find undiscovered land.

Here, take my arm.

We dance quietly side by side.
Hidden under the tall canopy of trees,
We are careful of the delicates creatures we could alarm.

Here, take my mind.

We sit together for hours,
Peel back the layers that for so long we tried to hide.
“Know me as no one has known me,”
Eager for the darkest corners we might find.

Here, take my spirit.

Our energy cuts through the atmosphere. Smoke from our flames.
We feel an intensity that at times makes us uneasy.
We yearn for it, although sometimes we may fear it.

Here, take my eyes.

We stare intentionally, we study and absorb the beauty that encapsulates us. We hold onto this moment.
Hating that time flies and in that next moment we have to say goodbye.

Here, take my heart.

We carry the thought of each other with us.
Enveloping ourselves in memories and fantasies.
We are reminded that though we aren’t here, we are here and no matter how far, no far is too far to ever keep us apart.
