Two of Hearts

Everybody knows the ground. They live life on the surface. I lived there, in a desert for the eight years that we were apart. I stood on only my legs, my heart alone. Now, because of you, I live in the sky. I live in a depth of bright blue, fresh air, and soft sheets. Dreams are no longer the currency of a future state, but of our present life together. We now stand on four legs, strong and sturdy. Our hearts doubled in strength and comfort. I want to steal words and ideas from others more articulate to better tell you how I feel. My words are not enough. But they are what I have. You shiver—I am cold. You sweat—I am hot. You cry—I am sad. You smile—I am happy. You breathe—I am alive. Your heart beats—I am in love.
