Trees

This is about the person I'm currently dating.

You are a rare picture of perfection that

I cannot help but stare at and

my heart cannot help but explode into millions

of parts that all hold the same feelings inside them.

Your eyes are not the window into your soul but

the window into your heart and I see what you feel

as and when you feel it because I feel it too.

I feel your pain and your fear and your love because

we are one in the world,

we are one person stitched together with thread that

is reinforced with so many feelings that it can never break.

Us, together, is like the tree and it’s bark forever growing

forever alive and stuck to one another.

Dearly beloved, we will always be our tree and our tree will

have many branches.
