Standing in the rain
we were totally soaked
all around me felt so surreal
I could only focus on you
You held me tight
my head nuzzled into your neck
I whispered words to you
and you seemed confused with emotion
”we have no past
we only have what is now
and I hope we can build a future from here”
You kissed my lips
A kiss I will never forget

The Dream
We are humans
Flesh and blood
but unique from everything living around us
with the ability to dream
and how important it is to have those dreams
Dreaming of places we could be
to walk in places we've never explored
To experience new cultures
taste worldly foods and wines
absorbing atmostphere around
to feel the air of each place
fill our lungs with freshness
We dream of people we could meet
reaching out and shaking a new hand
listening attentavily to their unique voices
voices of unknown personality
To familiarize oneself amongst different cultures
and having the feeling of being apart
of something greater than ones self
We dream of a special friend
of becoming close to them
to touch their soul
with words of wisdom
thoughts of adoration, care, and love
We dream of another body to embrace
to feel gentle kisses and caresses
to feel the other return affection
as we explore each other
hoping shy kisses become feelings of
overwhelming desires consumming us
entwining hands, minds, bodies and spirits
becoming enriched as unfamiliar grounds
become comforting and fulfilling
These are all dreams of ones' journey
a journey to live a lifetime of completeness
of letting go of ourselves
and opening up to others
As difficult and a struggle it maybe
it is also one of the most fulfilling
In the pursuit of making a dream a reality
we give so much
and in return
we may just find ourselves
