I realllllyyyyyy want to nominate this!!! I wish I had MA ability of commenting lol
I knew you two would make something amazing together. For some reason I was really excited and my heart was fluttering while reading this, I was also gasping at some parts.
Love this ^_^

I miss these collabs! Ready for the next one, i wish i wasn't part of it to nominate too XD Thanks Mark !

I was truly at a loss for words for like 15 minutes after reading :)

Everything about this collab just felt right. I really couldn't think of suggestions or any edits that would make the poem stronger. Everything fit, the flow and reassurance in the closing lines... I loved how you tied in the "for better or worse" and how "consistent" this poem was, where one stanza didn't shine or outdo the other, they worked at the same level. This collab doesn't even feel like a collab because of how seamlessly the two of you intertwined your verses. It felt dreamy, like a universe or perhaps planet being discovered due to this person's existence and them entering your life in such a profound way, giving light and love so purely . The imagery and references to black holes, orbits, etc were on point without flooding the poem with too many examples/visuals.

Favorite lines:

"There is more liberty and air
behind the bars of your ribcage
than there is in this world outside,"

^ Such freedom in these lines. The depth in discovering this person and them being almost a life source, granting you the ability to breathe in, and not inhale the toxins of the world.

and "And I, I'm in constant orbit around you,"
^ Such a simple line, only in the way it's constructed, but genius nonetheless. The pause after "And I" poured forth such tenderness.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! SO happy you decided to share with us this treasure!

This is simply beautiful!!! Its tender, passionate and filled with meaningful images enjoyed the read!!!
