I think about how the world was shaped and how it moved one day
in a way that brought us together that May.

I wonder what gods or spirits bonded over our coincidental meeting
and if they knew if this would be more than fleeting.

I think about the year we've spent laughing and crying and learning
in a way that keeps me returning —
every night back to you.

I wonder if we'll survive this next chapter within this lifetime
or if we're looking for just some insensible bliss in the meantime.

I know that I love you — that I know.
And I think and I wonder how you and I will grow.
And if there's a chance that we'll do it together
And if there's a reality where that means forever.
