it just is
an original poem by Will Miller

and there you were
and i was feeling
thinking
musing
sharing...
with you

and here we are
talking
laughing
learning
blushing
dreaming...
together

and it is
catching us by surprise
because it feels so comfortable
and it is
both new and familiar
at the same time
and there it is
just sitting between us...
an ornately wrapped package
inviting us to open it

and i could second-guess it
mire it with questions and doubts
dwell on the undulating challenges it could present
but to what end?
and why?

hey...
let's walk a while
through these woods
lounge by the sides of streams
hike up hills
discover breathtaking vistas
swim in lakes
and fall asleep in each other's arms
wishing on stars
from under big old trees

because there you were
and here we are
and there it is
it just is...
