When we sit,
together,
idly & with our hands linked,
it is when I can truly breathe.

With the reassurance of your pulse
at my fingertips,
I can rest easy,
sure of my steps & sights.

When we talk,
together,
idly & with our eyes locked,
it is when I feel the most understood.

With the reassurance of your pulse
in lightning marked veins against my lips,
I can finally settle down,
sure of you

& of us.
