Dear James,

I know what a skydiver feels like,

though I've never actually jumped from a plane

because with you I feel I'm skydiving.

Free falling, chutes failed

Crashing into your arms, into my world-

Yearning for the touch that grounds me

better than this planet ever has or could or will.

And in your eyes I see an ocean

One I plan to swim forever, trusting that

the water will be warm and the waves never too rough.

But it's in your soul that I find home,

in a space made just for me,

the one that waited, patiently waited-

Knowing only I would fit.
