Alone and always with you
Beside you all the time.
Considering a nameless way of loving*
Distracted by our own presence,
Excited, with every touch, we
Feel the warmth while
Grabbing hold of each other’s
Hands
In the moonlight.
Just enjoying the current state we share,
Knowing it will soon come to an end.
Light that we’ve illuminated
Must carry on with us when we are
No more.
One bright, sunny day, our own
Presence, distracted, for
Quite some time.
Refusing to believe that
Someone will not always stay alone.
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves*
Until we find who makes us whole.
Very happily, we continue to show our love, to
Whomever we deem trustworthy. We board the
Xebec, ready for our voyage.
You might think we’re in love, but really, we’re just traveling to
Zanzibar.
