IT'S YOU

I see you in the clouds,
In the waves, in the fields.
You're on your feet,
In front of me,
On the edge, holding dear.

I see you in the tides,
In the storms, in the wind.
You're in the sea, in the sky,
Touching clouds and colors, and secrets no one else understands.

I see you in the ground,
Between pebbles and diamonds, and trees.
You're in the embers of fire and flame,
I see you in all that I am.

I see you in the rooms,
In the dark, in the brightest moon.
You're in our bedsheet, in our seat by the widest door.

I see you in my memory,
In voices hoarse from wishing too hard, and hearts so red from loving too much.

I see you in the stars,
In the rockets, in the dust.
You're in the universe, in our history,
Leaving trails, longer and bolder across my skies.

I see you in the future,
In the streets, in my arms.
You're in my head, in the air, in the breeze.
Whispering and coaxing, and I see you and I think, I want to live like this, I want to touch the sea in the sky and the clouds in the ground, I want to breathe you.
