thank you, lovers

each person we meet
highlights aspects
within us
those we are familiar with
and those we haven't met yet
especially the intimate lovers
they show us all the bells and whistles
thank you, lovers.

yearns

and my heart still yearns for you
after all these years
proof that love exists outside of space
and outside of time
and so
all that i can do
is love you from afar
hoping somehow
it reaches you
