her.

You make me want to drink you in, like cool water first thing in the morning. Burning like frost that pulses through my chest. From my core to my fingertips, you quench my thirst to feel alive.

You were not easy to find. I had to search for you, and hope that you would see me too. It was like massaging a sore muscle after a strain. You nurtured my soul to health and now sit beside me like a shadow. Inescapable.

Alignment flows through you like the mouth of a river. A healer of unknown ailments. Love laces your lips and sweetens your kiss. I’ll sleep in the nectarous residue of experiencing you each night, biting my lip and perhaps biding my time.

Sometimes it looks as though the future is a white linen floating in a warm breeze. Clean and bright against a blue sky. Unfolded. Uncontrollable. Unsure of where it will land, but big enough to share. It’s when we are standing at opposite ends, holding corners and locking eyes that I know I’m free.
