Relegated to breaths of imagination
I imbue you with the magic I am attracted to
And find myself adoring you
Never having seen your eyes

I piece together soothing sensations of
Conjured intimacies
And burn with longing to know you
Crumbling with excitement
At the thought of your breath at my ear

Cry softly
While with love made tender with the desperation of
Recognizing loneliness' end,
I abandon the world
To live in you.
