this is how
you were here
in my mind’s eye
(this time last year)
when you didn’t know
when i couldn’t speak
travelling down wires
in stilted code
hoping
i’d get through
(how far we’ve come)
and now you and i
are a we
an us
circling
entwining
like smoke
this is the breath
of the waiting that was…

thank you
for calling
thank you for hanging up
thank you for coming back
thank you for giving me
a chance
to have you
fall in love with
me.
