Sometimes I dream
that we've mingled genes
that we've grown so close
our hearts now beat
with the same blood
thunder
with the same soul.

Sometimes I dream
that traits from you
merge and meld and mold
with the traits I see
(in me.)

Sometimes I dream
that my body is a sea
that you are the sky
that your soul is rain
falling,
falling into me
deepening
my depths
