Inarticulate

My soul must have known
Something was amiss
When i said,
You never plan anything
Let's watch a movie
Let's go somewhere
Plan something for us

Before that,
We had never needed
Any distractions
Some days
We did not even need
Conversations

I only knew
After i met you
How satiating
The simple presence
Of so much love
Can be
How old, old loneliness
Can be cured
How deep wounds can heal
How the cup of fullness
Overflows
How the soul rests
Smiles, basks
Safe in the warm embrace
Of another soul

No, we had not needed
Any movies before
Or any outings
To draw lifeblood
From each other
