Migration Rewritten

Fish swim downstream as easily

As butterflies fly between the concaves of my ribs

When I look at you

And like a roaring thunder

A chuckle emerges from the pit of his stomach

A warm hearty sound

That always manages to bring a smile to my face

And remind me that home isn't just a place

Love is no longer just a word

It's a verb

Shared by me and you

And I swear God created your hands just for me

Every wrinkle and crease fits with mine like a masterpiece

And when they're together it's the endless victory of me and you

And I want to be next to you when we're in rocking chairs

When we're at dive bars to see concerts

When we're sitting in front of a fireplace

Every second with you

Seems like a mini miracle given to me

And being around you

It's made me believe in God twice as much

Because I've never known something so beautiful

And while you're away

I get a good morning and a goodnight

Talking to you is like clockwork

So accurate to the second

As natural as migration patterns

Birds fly south

To the sound of us

And reemerge as we become warmer with the spring air

And my love for you will never again contain a question mark
