we run together

our hands touch,

they glide into each other like gloves,

finally settling down.

I am here, my love,

you say,

your words are like sugar candies

slowly melting in my mouth,

I see...

You're a ghost of someone I knew

years ago,

you fade.

I am not even sure you're real anymore,

not even sure you're mine.

Our eyes meet,

and you smile,

like a thousand butterflies in my gut,

you explode with laughter.

We are together

we run as one.
