I fell into your world, my love; And here, I shall remain, in heart, Even if I am away, Even if I must away, Even if I am to be in a Wonderland of my own making… I fell here, first, my love; And here, I shall remain, in part, As I have for years, As I have for weeks, As I shall, again, until I find the mirror-gate to you… There is a Hatter who makes tea for two, Who protects his M with kindness, Who tempts Alice with long-coated horses, Whose silver steed drives like the wildest things. There is a girl whose land is elsewhere, Yet finds life in Wonderland rings With yet too-familiar courses Of behavior with him all-too true… And yet, we pine in distance; And yet, you are right here; By some grace of our natures’ providence We touch what we hold so dear… And you are in my heart, my love; And here, you’ll always stay, No matter time may come or go; No matter how many worlds away… For we have already broken rules Upon us set by else-worlds’ minds, Still: As precious as Majesty’s jewels, Each other’s hearts, we find. Stay with me. Love me. Be with me. We shall never fear nor be torn apart; For we are as Titans, as magical as gods With all we’ve ever seen.
