Adam

unblinking, sudden, complete
i can never look back.
how will i ever let you out of my arms? i will do so knowing that you will follow wherever i wander, that  you have the golden patience and loyalty of a lion,
that distance has no way of making love understandable.
i saw it in your eyes; drowned in it
i always knew this existed in theory
and the reality of it is
boundless,
ecstatic,
beyond this world.
you are the one who lingers
the one who sets explosions of colors through my veins and has the same breath
the one i felt in my legs all these years
the one who makes me fearless and free
i have never been so certain
i have never been so at ease
you are the yellow bird i have been waiting for

i love you through infinity.
