“

Ever falling into the present
the pull of the unknown
drags the heart to dis-ease
holding steady in the wait

I wanted to write you a page full of verses. I wanted to show you the alliteration of our souls and how since I’ve loved you I feel like I’ve met myself.

somewhere
that makes me appreciate my own pulse.
