Only You

Only You

You move,
and something in me realigns —
like the tide remembering
what it was made for.

You are both stillness and fever,
the breath I lose between
the pulse and the echo.

When you laugh,
light burns through fog —
a wound made radiant.

Without you,
the world keeps spinning,
but it has no center,
only the hush of what’s missing.

Your touch: salt and sweetness —
a calm that trembles.
Every promise you never spoke
still anchors me.

In your arms,
time folds.
I forget what I was
before you named me with silence.

You —
my clarity,
my ruin,
the reason the night still hums.
