we touch we laugh

we sing we dream

we see we create space we oops

we wink we lean

we carry a torch

we toughly tighten our ties

we undulate

we weep we whine

we stretch we ache

we moan we sing along

we made a dirty joke

we make fun we weakly agree

we wear nametags we save pennies

we share we wise up some stories

we shave we giggle we have personal secrets we pulse

we hold hands we have lovely winters

we have hidden teases

we hate east west north south

we get along when we go out

we nap we splash water

we shift sleeping faces

we mesh

I am the soil

I provide a respite and

also a bit of cool depth

when the growing has begun again

I am the sun

I can warm you up and

make sure you are looking up

when you need healthy glow on your soul

I am the shade

I will provide a place to be

when you feel the overwhelming need

to escape the glowing outside world

and all of its gross inconsistencies

I am the breeze

I am a refreshing different direction

to look at when you have not

gotten enough new air in you

I am the rocks

I am the sturdy trail and interesting

you enjoy because you

have never been on anything like this before

and cant wait to see where it leads

when you have

gone I feel the

emptiness as if a strong

wind took away the only shelter

that protected my eyes from

the burning sensation

and I know what a missing kind

feeling is and after

you go I am like a warm

pair of feet forced to walk

across the snow in order to advance

past this emotion of missing you

if I had shown you the

amount I wanted your affection

I would be afraid you may

want to run from my love

and I have seen you

slowly become happier and closer

to me

so my fears betray me
