Catching Trains

This distance brings me closer. I can feel
you in my chest, pump my heart, release
                                             my breath.

When you cannot be beside, you are
everywhere to me. I see you
in the stars,                initials carved
                   into invisible trees.

Not being able to feel you so close,
you become closer to me (youme).
                  I needed this distance
to let you inside of me. (myoue)

I'll bear my heart, wear it on my sleeve.
I am committed now
                               that I had to leave.

Maybe the longing is a necessity; you
showing me how much this means;
a                    thousand miles
won't stop you from loving me,

(when those before stopped suddenly).

I'll give you my love
                              unconditionally,
for you are far better than I could dream,
                                          (deserve).

I'll do my best
to make my heart heard. Let
her speak freely, finally, though only
                 to your non-judging ears
that hold my whispers gently.

I could tell you dark secrets from the past,
and you don't sit there
                                  feeling bad. You say
I'm beautiful for all I do, how I see
the world, how I see you

and all those close to me,
      how there is beauty in all to see.
Somehow you manage
                                    to see it in me.
