how do I find the words for why
a circle in the green, staring at the sky
a mess of curls on my chest
can somehow make the world a brighter place
what words could I say out loud
that do justice to the future I imagine
to see you every day on waking
to come home, where home is where we are
I daren't conjure pictures, for that's a thousand words
but somehow, you found them
not "I love you"
but something more profound
laying in quiet, on a square of white
you break the silence, saying
this feels right
