…

I have seen you young.

I have seen you old.

I have seen you in love with someone else.

I have seen you hurt.

I have seen you laugh.

I have seen you rage, and weep, and crumble.

I have seen you win.

I have seen you steal.

I have seen you give without want.

I have seen you play.

I have seen you sleep.

I have seen you smile, and wonder, and pause.

…

In that embrace across space,
I see you, love,

and love what I see.

Can you see me?
Can you see me?
