Collected Poetry

You don’t know distance
until you’ve shared your bed
with someone who’s falling
out of love with you.

You want to know what it was? The moment I knew you were it? It was when I showed you the darkest parts of me, and instead of running away, you rolled out a blanket, lay on your back, and pointed out the stars.

The secret is to find someone who engages you deeply, to form a connection that goes further than desire or lust. It’s not enough to covet only a face or a body; true chemistry begins with the intellect and heart.
