I knew you for years before I knew you.
You’ve been with me since I was born.
This whole time
I’ve loved you and feared you and carried you
As I will the rest of my life.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it’s all rather unbelievable
You were an imaginary friend for so long
Before I literally made you up.
My honey, my cheer,
The person with whom I want to share all things I hold dear
It is magical to know you and to have known you before you
You are wonderful and unreal
My new-new.
I am blessed to know this intimacy
that overwhelms me.
Physics was once a man to me,
But no one teaches superimposition like a baby
History carefully twisted and folded down,
Block by block, link by link
into the most meaningful nothing
You are a quantum event
Silly of me not to see…
I called it a biological clock
But that pit in my stomach was just me feeling the undeniable gravity
the potential energy
Of you.
You’ve existed forever as nothing
Now you are everything
It’s hard to explain but
I’m so lucky you helped me understand it.
