Since we began this
obsessive closeness
that binds with our hands and lips
i began to feel more real.

The world beyond the screen i put around myself
seemed grey and vast.

Now we are both watching the world from behind this screen,
and it looks more like a colored painting
filled with opportunity and the color yellow.

With us together, the smoke we inhale like air
swirls around the air above our heads
then dissipates like memories of
past lovers.

Since we began this love,
no one else's love could match or exceed ours.
It's amazing, honey.
