First it was that we had only each other, needed only each other, needed to keep talking to understand the world more and more deeply, thinking together, chords from strings, We had never met anyone like us, we would never settle for anything less.
Then, that growing feeling that it wasn't just us, wait a minute, there are more! Others, a community of us...Find them! root them out! Let us be ourselves and draw them close—they will come.
More and more, groups unravel to reveal people we may love, we splash ourselves with friends, exulting, we wade towards others, gather more and more together, you and i a little apart, exchanging grins... then a little further...
We each reached out, and out of sight, bobbing somewhere around here. The world's an ocean, not a bucket! We can soak ourselves to the chin! Certain that we're both here together, creeping out and plunging in.
What more can I want? A bit more of you, happy head, bobbing about, a bit more seeing what you see, a bit more laughing so hard water goes up my nose.
I could always do
with a bit more you.

I drank some water for the chokey feeling to go. I feel like I've caught a cold.
