I Would Tell You

I would tell you about him but it wouldn't make much sense

Since what makes it good is the vast space and utter calm

The lack of order disguised as cliche romance

He is a cliche of himself at times

Which can make me itch but I'll scratch his back and my own

Pleasure isn't a necessity but an effect of the weightless cause

I've told you before that love is light

And this is a bright white feeling when he laughs with me

And only slightly dimmer when I cry on his chest about the existential angst

Because he is willing to capture dust particles for me and I would love to know a version of myself that can feel more grateful than I do for him
