I love you so much
sometimes
that my heart fills up with it
and it spills over into the rest of my
body
out into my limbs and my organs
and it keeps me warm in the cold
I love you full and round and hopeful
I love your smile and the taste of it on my lips
I love your arms and the weight of them
enfolding me
sustaining me
supporting me
I love your eyes and the light behind them
when you laugh
the tears that shine in their edges
when your heart aches
I love the blue of them
like the sky, like the sea, like the rain
so deep and powerful and overwhelming
that I drown in them
when you look at me
I love your heart and the weight of it in your chest
the thud thud thump of it against
my heart
in the dark
in the night
in the bright light of day
I love the stories it holds
and the pains
and the truths
and the strengths
I love you so much sometimes that it gives me wings
and my feet aren't on the ground
and the only thing I can hear is this:
the sound of your heart
of my heart
of us.
