It turns out
I love you in the dark
Love you at a distance
Love you through your creative work
Through your medium of expression
The thought of your existence is present in your absence
Does it mean that I love the idea of you
Or I love you more than i could be able to break even in the physical realm
Damnit I need you close beyond you against me
I need to be in you without you parting your legs or bending over
I need to hear you speak a language well understood even though it has no tongue
I love that you know and see them within me
They are all in one body
And they love you
You acknowledge them with your knowledge of human
You seek them in paintings and skatings
You let them love you and leave you expecting a replica with their prints evident on your body
You accept their impurities while you shun them from your tears
