A Place Only We Know

Meet me,
in the quiet tremor between your heartbeat and your breath,
where silence breathes itself into longing,
and the shadows of your heart whisper soft songs
only the two of us can hear.
There, love hides barefoot,
waiting for us to arrive without words,
without fear, only pulse and promise.

Meet me among the stars,
where ambition burns like incense,
and the galaxies whisper of us in light-years.
See how my eyes hold constellations
that spell your name in patient fire,
how even the dark bends slightly
to make room for our glow.

Meet me where the ocean exhales,
where the horizon trembles like a secret,
and salt baptizes every forgotten pain.
Let the tide pull us clean of yesterday,
let the water write forgiveness
across our skin until we gleam
with something close to forever.

Meet me in the forest’s open breath,
where trees lean close as witnesses,
and sunlight spills like honey between their fingers.
Here, the earth sings beneath our feet,
a lullaby older than sorrow.
We’ll rest where roots remember love
more deeply than words ever could.

Meet me upon the drifting clouds,
that tender border where heaven blushes
against the skin of the world.
Let’s waltz on vapor,
our laughter scattering like rain over cities asleep,
each drop a note of joy
falling back to where we began.

Meet me atop the mountain’s breath,
where air is thin but truth is thick.
Breathe me in until your lungs forget
where you end and I begin.
Let the wind carry our names into eternity,
two syllables of devotion
resonating through stone and sky alike.

Meet me, my love,
not in time, but beyond it.
Not in place, but in presence.
Anywhere the soul dares to open,
any moment brave enough to bloom.
Meet me there,
where everything is still,
and we are infinite.
