SO CLOSE

In love, a delicious drowning feeling,
Where stillness surrounds us, contrasting
A movie-like, high-speed madness around us,
Bypassing us because our love is frozen in time,
Growing now like the first buds in a spring passion,
Our touch is electric-like, brings us closer than skin,
So close that our hearts beat like one heart,
So close that we dream the same dreams,
So close that we breathe the same air,
So close, that we are one person.
