My love for you is a well that reaches deep into an aquifer
Drawing up and flowing over with old water that has never been tasted
It rises up around my body
Making me squirm as it passes over my groin

It holds me
Drawing shivers from my spine
Wrapping around my ribs and chest
Encouraging my lungs to inhale
Gasping ever so slightly
Before I dunk my head below its surface

To share kisses
To be in you and beside you
Feels so familiar
Feels so utterly electric
That I forget that it is new

But our bodies knew
With glancing hands
And dancing eyes
That this sense of understanding and home
Rested inside of us
Walking aquifers
Networks of electro-chemical magic
Two particles that have come into contact
And are hence entangled with one another

I feel you when you are not with me
I feel your pain when you struggle from afar
My heart reaches across space to find you
And love you
And care for you
As it would itself

And so
I take a last breath
Before I submerge myself in the well water of your love
Swimming down deep
Toward its bottom
Reaching for its depth
Your depth
Without knowing what will come

Try as I might, I could not not grow as tall as a mountain or as vast as the ocean. So I find solace as a pebble on the beach: shaped by wind, water, and time.
