Can you see me?
I know you now, I think
My world made small and simple
I think you have been me all along
Never a true love or a lost touch or a dream
You have been me
I waited for you, fingers stretched towards dark ceilings, wishes scattered across years like stars
Grasping for nothing when your warm hand was already in mine
I have written you letters and poems and songs
Our life is a love letter, don’t you see?
I’ve read it a thousand times over. I have read them all.
I love you.
