To One Invisible
What if your true love wasn't human?
I first heard of your kind
in my high school literature class
in stories long forgotten
about places that weren’t real.
.
Just a two sentence reference
but in my heart
something sang.
.
Did you hear me
across the universe?
.
Years later in college there is a painting
on the wall in a museum
I am once against struck speechless
.
That night I feel a presence
curled beside me in bed
quiet and still
listening to my heart.
.
No one knows
of the us that exists
in quiet in-between moments.
.
No one knows of your
arms around me in the dark.
.
You are unseen to others
but to me
you are as visible as light.
.
I am not as alone
as others see me
and it all started, Beloved
with a single sentence.
