where are we.
wouldn't have thought we'd meet so soon.
didn't expect to hear those words you said.
i've never felt this way before.

asleep inside the void between.
lucid in a dream, or simply lost within reality.

sinking.
feeling.

resting-
next to you.

the rain falls freely on our frames;
my eyes have lost themselves,
tracing crop circles in the clouds.
these drops, they break away
upon our lips like shattered glass.
my armored heart's been pierced.

softly.
swiftly.

contemplating.
[this can't be happening]

hesitating.
[it is]

i can't keep this inside-
but should i let it out?


breathing.
yielding.
i turn to you and whisper...

...I love you too.
