You asked me once, jokingly Which one of us was the reacher And which was the settler Well baby, you’re a reach like luna Before America and space sixty nined Or Arm was strong The Harvard to my underachiever You’re the explorer staking a claim I’m the protagonist In a Lee Child novel I reach and I love you for it because You were Midas to my life And if I could bottle and sell what you do to me I would be fat and rich Something in your gorgeous double helix Makes me walk a little straighter And speak a little louder They say darkness is the Absence, not the opposite of light And you noon my shadow like none other The heavens to a dreamer You’re unattainable but that’s the point I could reach for you For the rest of my life And I believe I will
