Post Card Love Letters

I find it hard to explain you to people

How at any given moment our connection is stronger

Like a homing device, we always find each other

Miles and miles traveled 

Sleepless nights

Early mornings

Countless cups of coffee laced in conversations

New skylines and familiar front porches

Yeah, I have a hard time explaining you to people

How you see me for the first time, every time

You make me brave

Like how sidewalks kiss the bottom of my dirty vans as I trek through dark alleyways,

You also kiss my soul with your billboard wisdom and welcoming signs

You have taught me what desire looks like

What grit and hard work can become from the ground all the way up to the penthouse floor

I miss you, but I must visit others and gain experience from them

Similar to forbidden lovers, distance is part of the process, 

but you are home

There are many "yous"

And only one me

Constantly breaking off pieces of me and scattering them out like bread comes

I inhale you deeply, only choking a bit this time

I never want to close my eyes with you, I fear I will miss just a moment,

and that would be too much

I find it hard to explain the back and forth 

Time differences

Skyscrapers

Freeways

None of them can keep us apart too long,

a few bring us closer together

If I am Peter Pan

You are Neverland

And will will Wander - Lust forever

I hope you are well while I am away

Post card love letters feel silly

but they do the trick
