Other Half.

Kissing you is like a revelation

of desire blooming, of sweat forming

of heart pounding, of cool tingling

Looking into your eyes is like

seeing all the contradictions in this world,

all the endless suffering,

and finding it beautiful anyway.

Holding your hand is like hope,

shaky but steady,

dangerous but bold,

and always constant.

Saying yes to you

was the beginning of me.
