Sonnet 4 (Being)

Being with you is like seeing an old best friend,
Ten years gone, don’t know where it went,
Except I realize, seeing you now
The friend I knew, I didn’t know at all, somehow

The way you speak, the way you think
Reels all my senses, like water down a sink
The only problem that I can figure
Is when we’re old, we’ll part for a flicker

But even now, in the space
All I feel, is your embrace
Inside out, warm and fuzzy
Like cuddling up, my darling lovey

When you leave, are “not around”
This love it grows, by leaps and bounds
Infinite infinities must be possible
For experience shows what theory calls bull

This poem will end but your love will not
For you are the substance that creates my thoughts.
