Last night you cried out in the dark, calling my name as your body arched
against mine. You touched me, and it felt like home. I kissed you, again and
again, unable to believe after so long. Unable to stop ever again.
You slept, your body entwined with mine so that I couldn't tell which arm
was mine, which leg, which heart. I watched you, all night I watched you,
loving you madly.
I think about this, now, in the shuttlepod. I thought, last night, that I
would die for you. This morning, I am being held to my word.
