Because LOVE gets threaded through WORDS, looped over sighs and nods, stitched through hands mending AIR. Because if we listen, if we speak, love can be OUTLOUD. Because we know already that love has been OUTLAWED. So we are fugitives making HOMES out of the printed and whispered cradles of each other's faith. Because I hold a WAITING "yes!" for you in my teeth. Because we have what we NEED. Because we ARE what we need. Because I need you more than I need. To know.
