Before You Arrive

There you are—

undoing me before you arrive,

an air pressure change I feel in my chest.

My instincts recognize you faster than thought,

like matter remembering physics it once forgot.

You stand close while our alignment reduces entropy

Seconds slow, love glows, and depth becomes choice.

Nothing is demanded, yet everything is imminent.

Feeling you, in the way space feels atomic mass,

condensing into a hydrogen explosion birthing a star.

A connection—

not from hunger, possession, or insecure reflection,

instead bonded from alignment,

two atoms barreling through space towards

a common gravity pulling us in as

galactic scale destiny drawing our fate nearer.

Even stillness transfer information,

between our two souls, our warm hearts.

Breath deepens, attention on each other, draws us in like a romantic story in time

handed down over generations—

an intimacy of shared cosmic laws,

bodies agreeing before language interferes.

When we travel the final distance—

only immersion and shared chemistry remain

as if the universe simply finished an equation

that began long before we came into existence.
