I sit here...post "goodnight" and yet I can still hear her sighs as she fights sleep to hang on just a few more moments with me.

"Why" she asks....to nearly everything. No one has ever asked a question like she does. I want to answer honestly but the words that long to slip from my tongue are of a language I've only just begun to overstand. My mind bends like a yogi...almost as if trying to spell it out but only hieroglyphics make their way to her ear. So I write her images from my mind's eye to hers. 

You are my synergy. All that I am, was, and ever will be are in orbit of you. 

Reaching up, I touch the contour of your cheek as I whisper this across the miles and feel your response like electricity in my fingertips. 

Did you feel that too? 

Standing...staring off into space, trying not to move one way or another because somehow in this crowd of bodies...I found yours. You lay over me like a down blanket and for just a moment, time and space have brought you to me and I'm breathless. I have to close my eyes and exhale to remember to breathe.

"How do you know?" she asks, and I trip over myself to answer inside of time...I have fallen hopelessly...and it's only taken 3.629e+15 nanoseconds to know that I want more than random texts or phone calls. I never understood head over heels but she makes me feel weightless.
