You appeared suddenly
Like a mirage.
You consumed the space around me until I couldn’t see through
Like fog, dense in my chest and vision
You became the air I breathed
The intoxication was warm and addictive.
As suddenly as you materialized, you left
The apparition was gone
And I was left gasping for the air you breathed into me.
Like home
Sitting next to you is that warm full feeling of loving and being loved
We do that for each other
Talking with you is like breathing
Deep slow breaths filled with the cold fresh air of December
I know you infinitely as one does their own heart
You belong to someone else or nobody
But I do not wish to claim or take ownership
Only that we continue to sit beside each other
Loving and being loved
Like asteriods colliding,
unexpectedly creating a new world.
Being detroyed and made new all at once.
My heart shakes with anticipation and fullness,
heavy with the being of you.
Dizzy with attraction.
You are the first to look at me
like I am the sun.
Powerful, blinding, and beautiful.
Radiating and magnetic.
I have opened a door to the rest of my life.
Endless possibilities laid out before me,
all I have to do is take your hand.
First an urge
Not quite a fully formed thought
A longing,
Pulling my subconscious.
All the little holes left by past heartbreaks
Reached out
to be momentarily filled by you.
Willingly you obliged
Drenched in your wholeness
I felt calm and full.
Like the tide,
you eventually rolled back out to the sea.
The next tide will bring a new longing.
