Stars die and the moon moves the tides

What’s it all mean in this infinite dream?

— — — -

I want you to learn how to love again

Because I’m already there

In love

With you.

______\\

My body woke me up

in the bleak morning hours

Urging me to tell you

I love you

But my voice was reserved

As if it didn’t want to be heard

Kept inside for a time like this

No equations for the moments I missed

To tell you just that

Over and over

And over and over

Until one day you say it back

Such a fickle thing

The gesture of voiced love

As if we need it for confirmation

Commitment, ownership of each other

Is it even a space to grow

Into who were becoming

Just to know?

We are FOR each other

But it’s still an honest sentiment
