He Keeps Talking, I Keep Dissolving

He keeps talking, I keep dissolving

He tries to pull me back to reality

I pull him back to my dreams

Where do these dreams end?

Where do they begin?

I hold stories in my palms

Stories he doesn’t know about

Maybe he knows

And doesn’t say a word

Maybe both of us know

And we are afraid

Of what the future might hold

His reveries and mine

Do they align?

His reality and mine

Will they melt into each other?

There are way too many unknowns

But I think my heart knows

He’s everything that has been missing

From the puzzle of my life

I hope he knows

My edges are softening

I feel lighter than ever

How do I stay tethered to reality?

How do I not lose myself to him?

I wish I could tell him

That my heart has always been waiting

For him to knock on the door of my life

And now that he’s here

I’m scared and confused

I find it difficult to leave behind

Everything I’ve ever known

I dreamt about belonging

About love and warmth

The real world looks at me

And I tremble

I wish for him to hold

My trembling hands.
