Are we really in the same physical space,  
Or is it just a dream I hold onto?  
Imagining you there across the field  
Of what feels like an eternity between you and me.

I listen, looking for the love within the lyrics,  
Always with the questions: why these artists, why these songs?  
I listen so I can find the thread  
To what you’re thinking, speaking without speaking,  
Touching without body. Knowing, feeling, resonating, imagining.

Springing to life in a world  
That only exists on threads strewn across the universe.  
Morse code of the soul, a green light in the bathroom,  
Detested by others, a bat signal that holds a space  
For love and remembrance.

The little things, writing in green ink because, well…  
You, you, you. You have a presence even in the physical impossibility.  
How can such a piercing gaze cross thresholds such as this?  
How can I know, feel, see, experience the world without you in it,  
Yet you are every part of it. Every inch.

You are a soft melody,  
The note on a piano that touches my heart until I’m brought to tears.  
You are the wind, the sun, and all the rays that bless the sky.  
You are perfection at its core, the graceful feathers of a hummingbird,  
Still and moving all at once.

You are ripples on the lake after a stone skipped  
With pure confidence reaches the other side.  
You are peace, steadying the soul in the worst of storms.  
You are love, a beautiful burst of rainbow hues  
Exploding in the sky for those with only true hearts with vision to see.

You are the deepest expression of beauty that I know.  
You are a gliding ballerina, mastering the movement of soft pink chiffon.  
You are the flowing water that fills my soul  
And gives me the power to move with clarity, grace,  
And just the right amount of pressure.

I see you in my mind’s eye, faceless, formless,  
Everything and nothing all at once.  
You are the humbling force in my life,  
My tether in this universe.  
You are beautiful, ever flowing.
