When I see you...

Do you know what I see when I see you?

I see the peace that I am seeking.
playfulness from a childhood I never knew.
consult with the stars about the road ahead.
sampling morsels for the night we'll tie a knot.
twenty-five hundred names for a little being.
exactly where every wrinkle is to develop
and a photo with three generations.

Even If

So even if he were to decide that this was not what he wanted.
He is getting all of me, forever.

last night

last night he whispered that he loved me
and I pretended to be asleep.

I know he is scared because he has never been more sure about anything in his life.
I know I am scared because I have never been more sure about the same thing.
