Living Proof

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.
