i could build a cathedral
out of all the words i
want to wrap you in and
kiss upon your lips
i could construct villages
out of all the hopes i
keep sacredly out of
reach
i could fill a mausoleum
with all the promises
i have received with open arms
only for them to leave me
just as those who gifted them
i could write cities and forests
and galaxies into existence
using only the words that
come to mind when i hear your voice
or when i feel the gentle comfort of
your breath intermixing with mine
when our universes are only a few
heartbeats away from colliding
i could build a life with you
and that’s what leaves me speechless
