New

See I have been reading you.

Reading, you;

from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

I have been reading your notes,

following your heartbeat through your hands

letter by letter, syllable by syllable.

I have been following you

through your ascents and descents and winding curves.

I have been reading you

following the stars in your eyes,

the cherry on your lips,

the caramel on your skin.

I have been listening to your breath,

your song, your voice;

they that accompany your hands,

your feet, your waist,

they that sync in rhythm.

I have been reading you.

I have felt the cadence and the tone.

Heard the whispers and the screams,

snickers and laughs.

I overheard the pain and the moans,

the sadness and the regret.

I pressed further to hear the hope and the dreams. 

I came eye to eye,

ear to ear,

heart to heart ,

mind to mind

with another soul.

A whole new universe

with a constellation of emotions,

joined together by different times,

places and people.

I came to a new frontier and placed a white flag.

The sky was golden, the sand was brown.

There was a river flowing, waterfalls in the distance.

Hope in the future,

Life in the air

Love pervading my whole being. 

I came to a new life.

I came to you.
