Ablaze

I met you when the world was on fire and the Himalayas were golden

Becoming anew

Its nice

To take you in the bite sized doses

You're a lucky gem to find me in a space where I dwell freely

I don’t think of you like I imagined I would

I'm glad that you are you 

And I am me

Separate yet similar

I forgot what it was like to laugh again

To grin without recoiling into overthinking

All the ways you could disappoint me

Aligning with all the ways you could mislead me

Yet I find that it is about me

And you are on your own journey

That may or may not ever accompany me

With a light heart, I welcome you

I bestow upon you a doubtless horizon, hugging the rim of that bright smile of yours

Is my own vulnerability trickling over to you, my love? 

Or does the taste of my lips tempt far too much?

For us both, I don’t think we expected our worlds to collide

Like I said, didn’t they tell you the world was on fire?
