and to believe that i,
after only a
handful
of months,
have fallen
truly and
unmistakably in love
with
everything about you

hr.

i wanted to love
like we were gods
at the beginning of the world

but there was something in our
sweet mortality.
i wanted to kiss his temples
and pulse points.
there was something about that
vulnerability,
so human and fragile.
i want to bask in just how
fleeting and temporary
we are because,
it makes our love so sacred
