Love Becomes You

Love becomes you, simply, almost unnoticeable at first; it's like that, you know, unnoticeable at first. Then a hurricane, then constant regular breathing, then kisses and motion. And time rearranging its schedule to make sure there's space. And space rearranging its schedule to make sure there's time. While love sits patiently in the center of this stage, crystal gowns and pools at her feet. Heart high, hands strong, arms open. She has been listening all along you know, taking careful notes, preparing the future, knowing that someday the two of you would finish your endless waiting and invite her home. Someday, today, today you are saying "welcome love." Today you are saying "live here with us, we will share our life with you until we have no more life to live and then we will share our passing." We will keep you warm and we will keep you full and oh, my God we will keep you so happy. And thank you love for not holding me hostage when I wanted to be free. For holding me generous and touching me lightly when I just needed to know that someone was there. Thank you for taking notes, for being more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. For saying yes, I will marry you -- I will -- I do.
