i think we still exist
somewhere in the universe
behind the sun
where all of earth's abandoned
soulmates go to rest
i think i can see us
when i look up at the sky
and squint directly into
the rays of light,
your blue eyes burning
into mine.
i think we are together
in the time that trails behind
the present, dancing
in circles until the last stars
fizzle out.
i think that our promises
seeped into the soil, like
february rain, our souls sown
together, tucked in
beneath the world.
i think what we had is
somewhere just out of reach,
pulsing in the dim spaces
between heat lightning.
and although, in this lifetime,
we became nothing but shadows,
monsters that linger on bedroom walls.
we are there, we are alive,
and we are still in love.
