As he echoes.

Studying made enjoyable and the feeling that he could cover me if he wanted to. 
I could disappear under his skin if he asked. 

I’d build my self a little home beside his lungs and with every breath, I’d feel him. 
Right under his 
heart — that would be my 
metronome. 

His insides would 
be my New York, 
and his pulse
the passing train that shakes my crummy apartment. 
His brain, my Wall Street. 
And every capillary and nerve 
ending, each ligament and tendon, 
from muscle to 
muscle, an avenue to tiptoe across. 
His eyelashes 
my skyline, and his eyes 
my Liberty

Remember, I found you first.
