i think i understand why they say
it only comes once in a lifetime
for ive spent lifetimes already
just waiting for the idea of you
and here you are in the flesh
wrapped in light and love
and you are so much more
so much more than my hopes
than my comprehension
than my wildest thoughts
to let you go
would be to gamble
that the earth doesnt circle the sun
that the moon doesnt orbit the earth
that the strongest gravity doesnt pull us together
no, i’ll take the safe bet
and follow you into the unknown

is it too soon?
is it too quick?
i think youre inserting time
into a place it doesnt belong

instead i’ll answer you this
it feels like the solution to my soul
like a monumental exhale of relief
when youre near

why would these things ever have to do with time
when the universe is finally placing two jigsaw souls together
