Patterns of devotion

It's something like

A mutual curiosity

Attention that waxes...

and wanes

But still, a profound affection

An undeniable connection

And "you remind me of summer"

And of a never ending pit of sharp edges

Orbiting each other again

Not too close! 

Not too far!

Refreshing 

Like a cool breeze

Like a glass of murky water

Ah, so safe!

Like a woollen blanket 

Like a woollen eye mask

Waiting, giving, forgiving 

All without expectations?

A dangerous vulnerability 

Unspoken, unmet needs

But still so precious

Still so clean

Going through the same cataclysmic motion

Caught up in these same patterns of devotion
