did you know that even just
holding your hand makes me
feel like I’m holding the world?

or that I skinned my knees when
I fell so hard and so fast for you?

but you dusted them off and helped
them heal and oh my god I am so
In love with you

I can never really tell
If the tide is high or
low or if it’s going out
or coming back in and
I don’t really know much
about the phases of the
moon and if it’s waxing or
waning but I know that
when you hold me the gaping
void that usually corrupts my
soul is finally gone and for
once I am actually whole

we were sitting on the couch
at 2 am and you said to me
that we have had not one, not
two, but three first kisses and
you said that the first was in
November of last year and all
I could think about was how
I wasn't supposed to want you
to kiss me but I did and how
when you kissed me I almost
died a little but I know you did
not feel the same way and then

our second kiss was this past May
and you said that I was shaking so
much that you had to hold me up
and I can remember how hard I
was smiling the next day and

our third was in my bed with tears
running down your cheeks and that
was the first time you realized that
you loved me
