#InvisibleThreads
I first loved you
When the universe was still dark.
Being swaddled infinitely
In the endless womb of existence
Became bearable once you appeared.

We travelled through galaxies
Encased securely in each other’s arms.
When the photons broke free,
Unleashing light and colour
Into the cosmos,
I sewed your favourite shades
Into the sunrise and sunset.
Long after I cease to exist,
These will start and end every day,
Wrapping your waking moments
In the memory of how much I love you.

In the time before oxygen,
I taught myself to inhale
Purely for you to take my breath away.
When our world began,
And oxygen became mundane,
I relearned breathlessness
So you could once more breathe me to life.

In the time before sound,
I serenaded you with a ballad ...
