You let me
Trace the stars
In your skin
With my fingertips
Like constellations
In the night sky

A Mess of Words
Hard is the day
To start,
When waking with
A heavy heart.

I held your hand
not out of confidence
in you, because I felt
feeble inside.

I remember the water
How it felt
Upon my skin
And I am thirsty
To drink in each drop
These parched lips
Miss the rivers
Where I could swim
Freedom, ebbing and flowing
At one time, I was a part of the sea
And I covered everything
But these days, my skin cracking
Heart slowly thudding
To stop, my fingertips dust
And I am a whisper
Of the girl I once was
They said
you are 15
you are too young
this
can not be
true love

Now I am 56
Look
It is
true
love
Never let others judge your love. We are married for 37 years now.😁

wanting to reach out-
but Don't want to know
how will we love
after the first stone's throw?
So one of my teachers recommended this book in class, 'How We Love' by Kay and Milan Yerkovich and it is one of the most enlightening books I have read for myself in recent years. It talks about how we love, how our childhoods shape how we love, and how we can love better through reckoning with it. Highly, highly recommend. You can also take their quiz to find out your love style: https://howwelove.com/love-style-quiz  
Do it, you won't regret it!!
