We watch the world through the same pane of antique glass, all wavy and shimmering. You make me laugh at just the right moments. Old Korean tailor ladies from as far as miracle mile perceive your inner wisdom. Out with friends, when you tell our stories, I sit back and listen, delighting in what I know to be true.

With you I feel like a kid again, the future a still-wrapped toy. I can hardly wait to see the woman you'll become, the kind of monsters our kids will be. So much lies ahead of us; we've got so far to go. Just imagine how much then will bind us. With children grown and decades in an instant gone by.

Couples often say they're soulmates. And yet when they marry they say 'til death do us part.' I dream of a time when we'll both float along in empty stillness, weightless in the heavens, or soar through all of space and time, the mystery unravelled.
