deep love

you’re in deep love
   & the color of your life
has changed.

finally,
   you have all the
answers

why the sun is
   always shining,
why the sky is
   blue,
why you have a
   body.

but you’ll never
   know why
you belong in his singular
   heart, why
his touch matters more
   than the sea.

you’re so happy you
   can’t laugh hard
   enough, run fast
   enough, leap high
enough.

you can’t believe your own
   smile.

no need to be
   afraid, the joy at
   the center of your
   bones will never
go away.
