the world tilted
and i find
that i am exactly
at the opposite end
of where i was yesterday.
there was silence
between us
and spaces
and gaps
and infinities
yet to be realized.
now,
i am here somersaulting
with the sound
of your voice
as i drift off to sleep,
and again waking up
to the sweet sound
of promises unspoken.
when yesterday
i cannot find
where my spot is
in the map
of your heart,
here i am
at the x
marking exactly
where your whole being
is held together.
you have brought me
to various peaks and depths
of euphoria and melancholy,
and i am sure
i can only be called crazy
for wanting to be where i am.
when you come home,
remember:
x marks this spot, baby.
i am here,
exactly where i
have chosen to be.
