This new chapter—
with you in it—
has been more than I ever
could’ve imagined

Our love?
It’s not just love

It’s a revelation
A revolution of the soul
It’s exposed me to dimensions—
deep layers
of connection
of intimacy
of support—
I never knew existed

And though
your physical presence
feels like oxygen…
feels like warmth in winter…
What we’ve built?

Oh, what we’ve built—Intentionally.
Deliberately.

The way we’ve poured
into each other’s wholeness
into each other’s healing
has made this storm
feel a little less violent

The memory of your touch?
It still lingers—
like perfume in a room you just left

Every hug
Every kiss
Still holding me

And, the way you showed up for me—
in words,
in silence,
in spirit—
It’s the light, guiding me
Through every shadowed step

The comfort we’ve shared?
It’s more than memory
It’s a trail

And I’m walking it

Now

Across this vast expanse
of impasse and ache

But don’t worry
I’ll find my way
I will find my way

Back through the silence
Back through the waiting
Back through the distance—

I’ll find my way back home
