I am with you even when I am without you. We are there, in our own place where only the two of us may go.
Our separation is painful. Our words, our voices, are seconds away while our bodies hunger across thousands of miles. Sometimes I lay in reverie, my mind drowning in thoughts of you. In the depths of darkness on lonely nights my craving hands reach out for you, feeling only the emptiness beside me.
Half of what I write is meaningless. Keep only the pieces that reach you.
I write only for you now. I have tasted ambrosia, I cannot return to cognac.
Sometimes I cannot say the words. I am afraid. I shrink back. Who I am is shaped by where I was. It is only with effort that I can take the risk to change. You are worth the effort.
I like you. I like you for who you are. I do not want to change you. I like being with you. I like talking with you, writing with you. sharing dreams with you. My soul dances with yours. I like to laugh with you when we are naked. There is no laughter like that shared by lovers. Our spirits mingle in a joyous embrace.
If I think about it then I'll convince myself it is insane. I'll think about what I tell myself that others might be thinking. I'll calculate probability and statistics and defeat myself with the lies of numbers. The heart inside me will die. I don't want to be mathematical. I want to be poetic. I want to appreciate the beauty of what I feel.
We are each other's opium.
Are we walking on the vapor of a cloud?
Let us explore the psyche, passing without fear through the doors where the true realities of desire lie.
