I'd like to be selectively numb 
So that I am less easily distracted 

I thought by the environment 
   Sound, flash, smell
But really myself too
   Itch, thirst, thoughts 

Why do I think about non-you when am with you in the first place?
Is that (in)capability?

But I don't want to be numb to you
Or of you
Or by you

Rather, I want to fuse with you, to become you, part of you and whole of you
Inseparable, inside, and out 
All encompassing
Bodily and spiritually 
Fluidly and organically

Is it possible
Why ain't I you
Fate's joke on me, that I ain't you
But fate's mercy on me
That I have you, that I met you
And we love one another 

I still doubt at times 
But you've made me better at fending that off
For being so far unwavering 

I don't know if I don't trust myself or I don't trust you
I tend to think I don't trust humanity

But what else can I trust

But love
