Our feelings are 
cyclical 
They swim upstream
pumping blood 
into our arms
and our hearts
You can say their names out loud
I promise I won’t laugh 
We were both born 
sacred and scared 
Afraid to step into the sun 
and learn to walk on land 
Our emotions 
evaporate 
when we want to not worry
They form clouds 
in our chests 
next to where we keep 
our secrets
They pour down
to form Rivers 
Lakes 
Puddles 
where we can swim
Circling around each other 
Just like you always imagined
