Tomato Soup

I feel love most deeply as it radiates through you. The hours turn to minutes, as we fight for breaths between endless fits of laughter. I am not ashamed of being myself, and the most vulnerable bits of existence lack intimidation as I share them with you. I am seen. But, more than that- I see you. The moments we share are so genuine I can feel our souls become one. Though we could stop and surrender to the bitter promise of each moments’ end, we insist, on rather, smiling wider, laughing harder, and feeling -more deeply, the exchange of love from me to you.

I want to see you through your mother’s eyes, as a child just finding their footing. I want to experience you in another dimension and feel your warmth in another time; One where we are brothers or sisters, or strangers, or friends all over again. I love you on purpose, but even when my love is silent, noiselessly slipping under even my own radar, I will feel it swirling around us each time I close my eyes. There is nothing more real to me than this.Love like this is weightless and without bounds, and even if I feel it nowhere else but here for the rest of my life, I will know undoubtedly that it is true, and endless, and bigger than me.
