To Know You Love Me

How do I know the way that I know,

The ways you don't show, the things that I know,

 

The breaths that you take when so long apart,

The heartbeats that bind us with one single heart,

 

Are shared in thin air as if floating by,

Inhaled, and exhaled through spirit called Night,

 

Between us this distance, so weak a constraint,

Is no match for gravity which binds and contains,

 

This vessel called love that traverses all,

That echoes through ages like voices through hall,

 

And vibrates the truth across sacred skies,

That unit called truth between you and I,

 

That one single heartbeat has only one rule,

To know you love me, is to know I love you.
