Infinity - May 16, 2000

There are no words
to describe
the depth of happiness
you inspire

I cannot begin
to express the feelings
that bubble through
everytime
my thoughts
turn towards you

Every thing that I see
carries a remembrance
of your smiling eyes
that I willingly
drown in

Every sound I hear
carries your voice
to my ears
your honeyed words
that both inflame
and sooth
at the same time

Every breath I take
reminds my heart
of the other
that laid so close

Every thought consumes me
in a slow heat
that captures my attention
more surely
than a thousand lights

Every step I take
is on the path
towards you,
seeking that day
when our lives
are more than just
the sum of our
phone calls,
and email
and fleeting days together

I look to that time
where our separation
is measured in minutes
and not weeks

Where our memories
outlast our loneliness

Where our life together
stretches past
our lives apart.
