This is not a romantic poem
No clicheic "I love you forever like that"
Nor words conjured in Shakespearean proportions
And if you're looking for phrases
That melt your heart with each utterance
Then none of those can be found here
Here there's only the loss of things
The loss of insecurities, of self-made walls
Of defenses I have for people like you
Who simply walked through them all
The invader who took me prisoner
By letting me be the king of your heart

This is not a romantic poem
This poem is about my love for you
In all its concentrated entirety
And how this planet orbits in slow motion
When I'm with you, and you're with me ...
