I am so in love
with life
no matter
how it unravels
in these hands.
I draw my strength
from you.
I draw conclusions
on things yet unsaid
but no less true.
You have me
wet from 1100 miles,
beating heart hidden
behind placid smile.
I'm holding so much back
till I can hold you,
things I hesitate to say
from seven states away,
far better expressed
in the lexicon of a kiss.
And I still don't know
how to touch a man.

Happy birthday, darling.
