Everyone's asleep except me. And you.

Slow

We get to the hard part and it seems like a surprise. We’ve been dreaming separately, living in the overlap. But now we can’t find that place. I know I am hanging on to things in the part of the ven diagram that I didn’t even know were there.

All we can do is tell each other what it is we think we cling to; try to recognize the gravitational pull we believe pins us down even if we were to let go.

It’s a tough place to be for both of us.

And so we slow down and try to look at each other and feel the gravitational pull that drew us together, and say, Yes, I see you. And more importantly, Yes, I know you see me.
