Say it to me, he says
into my chest-deep breaths…
I might drown him,
but I’m drowning
so I says:
You fulfill my every need,
physically,
emotionally,
whatever my fantasy;
You are magic to me,
a sparkling dizzy
shaken with intensity.
I am vulnerable to you,
I am yours,
I have connected my essence
to anything you are
and were
and will every new day become.
You are my happiness.
I want us.
I am now us.
Then, say it to me,
he says,
simplify
our complexity.
And so I says
into his chest-deep breaths:
I love you.
