In science class we learned
Two objects can never occupy the same space
Can never truly touch
There is always space between the atoms
Light is not an atom
A particle, a wave, a photon
Vibrating fast fast fast
But, without mass
Light can reflect off the water
Skim the surface and penetrate the depths
Flit and flirt and flash
And yet never touch
Before the light
My water was cold and dark
Unfathomable depths held
Naught but the secrets of death
Then I saw you for the first time
Blindingly luminous, achingly beautiful
Your boundless energy buzzing too fast to hear
You reached for me
An infinitesimal moment stretched to infinity
The time it took for your waves to reach mine
Oh, the way your presence excites me
I grow warm, glowing from within
I take you in deep, all the way to the edge of my secrets
As I desperately try to hold on
I can sense you scatter
Slow, absorb, and disappear
Tingling and vibrating, I breathe
Release vapor into the air
And cradle in my heart
A tiny spark of life
