i see you

I see you.
I see you asleep I see you awake.
in my life in my death
I see you.
I see the blind white of your eye
I see your hand pressed on your ears, and
I see the vessel pulsing fast on your wrist.
your hiding is distress.
your hiding is thievery,
and when I hear you rustle:
for a second I flow into your shadow,
for a second I become thief.
and just when I'd utter:
I love you,
darkness swallows you up,
ocean swallows you up.
and yet, clearer than anything
vast within everything
I see you.
