I am in a field,

Embraced by a forest.

It is only

You and I.

Our bodies

Are a contemporary dance routine.

While our eyes stay

Fixated

On each other.

Your exhale

Surrounds my face in warmth;

I become your inhale.

You told me,

“I always am

A part of you”

I believe you,

Because I once heard

Your reassurance

In my bold laughter.

Once, your eyes took over mine,

When I was looking in the mirror.

I saw myself as you do.

The grass rustles,

And I get goosebumps,

Everything here

Is soft, gentle.

Smooth rocks

Covered in pillows of moss.

Weary trees sit down instead of falling.

The birds sing to us,

And we sing back.

I belong here with you,

Somewhere as soft as me.

The breeze never tells me I’m too quiet,

And neither do you.

With no other noise around,

We finally hear each other perfectly.
