“If the stars had been aligned,
I would’ve known.
I would’ve felt it in my bones,
and seen it in your eyes.

If the poem had been written,
the title would be lost.
The line would have been crossed,
My heart be long since stricken.

Darling, I have to tell you something,
or my head might explode, give out.
It’d shatter my heart, my feelings.

Words are not enough, my dear.
No language has the answer.
But the way you make me feel is clear,
A poet and a dancer.”

A.V.
