the thing about it

reflection on life forces

the thing about it, isn’t that 
	I want you with everything I’ve got

nor, is it the easy smiles, 
	the warmth, the wonder
		you bring to my day
		without even knowing it

the thing, I think, is that I’m
	so damn excited
	to lie there with you
	and share our life force
		bit-by-bit, and totally
		all, at once.
