Distance whether it’s a
Foot or many miles
Always requires a bridge
Some bridges span canyons
While others span inches
But most bridges bring
Two different things together
The thing that’s required
For bridges to work
Isn’t rope and wood
It’s the willingness for
Those two separate sides
To be tied together
So are we yet
Willing to be closer
Now than this far
Laughter is by far
The sexiest expression in
The world far more
Than nudes laughter makes
Me want to kiss
It draws me in
So please keep your
Stares and your dances
And your common obscenities
Fill my heart with
Humor and silliness because
Our world is filled
With too mu seriousness
Tickle me with laughter
I will kiss you
Whomever you happen to
Be wherever you are
We fell in love
At completely different times
Me when we watched
Turning Red together separately
You there me here
You when our feet
Crossed that one morning
While lazily drinking coffee
In our love nest
I guess it doesn’t
Matter as to when
Or where we did
All that matters really
Is that we did
It’s the oddest thing
When others could see
Something so evidently marvelous
Yet we were blind
Hooray they all cheered
While we looked around
Wondering what the fuss
Was all about when
In fact it was
Us they were celebrating
How could we not
See that what we
Were was exactly precisely
What the world wanted
Two men in love
Innocently unaware we were
One of my favorite
Things is looking into
Your eyes for you
Have no idea what
I see in them
I see me in
Them in how you
Look back at me
