Hearing your voice has rendered me an elated girl!
I felt soft snow trickling down my skin as you spoke.
I envisioned your lips close to my ear — parting and touching
parting and touching
as the susurrus of your oceanic voice told me great legends
of how you found me at last.
(I am very fond of the waves and their lullabies — in fact,
it is my favorite sound)
Though, what a tragic story this is.
This ethereal sound is teasing me with its distance.
Distance,
Flee!
I want to trace the outline of your lips.
I want to feel the ocean’s wind upon my cheek.
Swallow me whole.
Close my curious mouth with your own
and together we will swim into immortality.
Heartbeat to heartbeat,
Blink to blink,
Laugh to laugh.
Breath to breath.

(My dearest, I love you)
