Now, yester, faddah

I want you.

I want your fears and laughter.

I want your tears and loud exclamations.

I want your disapproval

I want your…do I like some of this stuff?

No, but it’s mine nonetheless

I need you walking down the yard, long elegant dress with a beer perched in one hand.

I need you sitting on the couch making me laugh before bed.

I need you telling me about the next thing that really bothers you about the world. The next calamity.

I need you walking by my side in the cold, lights brightly shining and twinkling and your hand is cold inside my warm one.

I need you there when I wake up, doing all your busy stuff.

I need you there when I drink tea in the morning, telling me about something you read. Something you thought. Some article. Some thing. Just listening to your voice and memorizing your face. I don’t want to ever forget you.

You, just you. Always you. Forever you.

Winter has come. Thus quiet rustling of snow, wind, and want.

We keep each other warm through the blizzards, through the ice storms, through the next chapter and the next.

Did you see? Did you. It was beautiful.

And so I look at you and you pointed above my head and I looked and it was the same sky as every other night, but tonight it was special to you and in turn then me. We just stand there, in this presence, arms around each other  waist, fogging up each other glasses looking up and a magic sky.

Till we are frozen and we race inside, and steam, and hot tea, and the warmth of you, and your heartbeat on my tongue.

I can’t think of a time I won’t have to have you. I won’t run towards you like a crazy man, shaking, until I’m Inside.

These folds are mine. Just this seductive origami.

If I could I’d keep you always.

You ever think about vampires? Like the dumb stuff? Like you would have to really like each other to just be around someone for 300 years, right? Like I’m not going to hang around some person with bad hygiene. Like you got old vampire ass!

You. You’d be my person to always travel through time with. You. Just 300 years of lust, love, adventure and laughter. How wonderful is that? Bicker? Of course, but like 2 dumb magnets I think eventually we’d get it. We’d just be. Inseparable. Timeless.

We’d be now, fathomless.

Forever.

I’ll find you sooner. I swear. I’ll find you sooner because nothing is enough time.

I cherish it all but I will always want more of you.

So I’ll find you sooner. Somehow.

You are my stone. You are mine.
