i googled
what does it feel like to miss someone
but i know

Yesterday, I dreamt
of you in the dawn
of my heart, beating
vermillion red, my hands
shaking and cold.

Today, I dream of me
my mind clear, and open
as I wash the past
from my body,
and seek the day
in all it's beauty

I AM
I am, because of you
seen through your eyes
love is my reward

made out of flesh and bone
you let me see;  blessed, truly
while the sun rose and fell

from your smile
having two fates we are sealed
forever justified, together sanctified

from this love where
no boundary divides, in its capacity  
I am; because of you, in this, our love will live on
