Though lips have never met nor palms embraced,

nor safety felt in arms around her waist,

he’s touched her in a way she can’t define,

with unseen hands, her heart, he’s realigned.

Three words, though left unsaid set spirits free,

to soar in unison, to love, to be.

Entwined beyond the realms of skin and bone,

beneath the stars, they’ll never be alone
