To see you
Is to exist outside of myself
To love you
Is to live the promise of every moment in between
It is to hold an umbrella upside down
If only to discover what happens when we finally catch
something accustomed to falling
Like rain, leaves, not hearts
So, I am wearing all the promises you made me
Prepared to be undressed
To hold myself open for these feelings to burst into the corners of this world
announcing us in a time we need not escape
Under stars we need not fear
In the midst of an ovation echoing our heartbeats
Demanding that we wait out the storm
And settle into a new adventure with
Pleasurable mornings
and evenings
when we turn on the hot tub jets.
