Something lept inside me
when I heard your name.
I thought I'd forgotten that sweet, sweet sound.
It feels like decades ago
we wandered in our own direction,
hoping we would find each other
after we found ourselves.
None of what was broken then
  is broken now
  all of those cracked
          bottles
       we threw away a long time ago
          and accepted what they were,
               and only what they were;
                  shards of glass.
      There was some beauty

                    but not enough to collect,
                           to hold
                      and keep for ourselves.

                    My heart fills up with bubbles
                       when you are around me,
                 and I'm addicted to the sound they make
                             when
                                 they
                                pop.
                        I love the feeling of them expanding
                            forming a thick liquid
                                           in my chest
                             
                                   one I can't repress,
                                  I know I'm in love with you.

                                I know I'm in love
                               with the strange noises you make
                                    to distract me from looking
                                          deep
                                             into
                                       the essence of you.

                                             I look
                                                anyways,
                                      I see past the barrier,
                                             and I love what I see.
                         I love being cradled in your arms
                 knowing I could hold you for a thousand years like this,
                                even if the world vanishes and we are left to float in
                                                   the void.
                                        I know I could be close to you
                                           folded in the beauty
                                              of your heart.
                                       You are a boundless soul
                                            I see hidden away,
                                            spared of being known
                                      while the world is surely
                                                   denied
                                           of a treasure
                                           you don't know
                                           you are harboring.
