don’t say i never wrote you anything.
you have shown me the secret to immortality
destroyed the very idea of failure in its tracks, my love
you have created something insurmountable merely by existing.
today if the world fell to pieces,
if cities were decimated and the home we will soon share was destroyed,
if all i had left was you
i would still be sending thank you notes to god from eden.
ragged and hungry and ever fucking thankful for having loved and been loved by the force of nature i will someday call my wife
for having known what it was to have a soul mate--
even if only for our small infinity.
and if i am lucky enough to meet you again in our next life,
when ever or where ever that may be,
i will rest easy knowing that we will not find each other by the color of our hair
or by the will and brilliance in your eyes
or the stutter in my gait
but by the ever present moon dust on our soul in your body and the sea salt in mine.
