You came into my life with grace, the way sunlight breaks through the clouds on a winter afternoon. The way the ocean meets the sand. Fed on laughter and kisses, we grew fat on each other's love. How ever did I come to find you? Through passion? Through kindness? Both? I keep imagining your happiness at the thought of me, at the scent of me, the lingering memory of my lingering touch, the kisses that fell... I keep imagining how sad you must be, how nothing fits the way we once did, how thin and pale you've become since I've been gone, starving lingering.

Ode to Iris
You came into my life with grace, the way sunlight breaks through the clouds on a winter afternoon. The way the ocean meets the sand. Fed on laughter and kisses, we grew fat on each other's love. How ever did I come to find you? Through passion? Through kindness? Both? I keep imagining your happiness at the thought of me, at the scent of me, the lingering memory of my lingering touch, the kisses that fell... I keep imagining how sad you must be, how nothing fits the way we once did, how thin and pale you've become since I've been gone, starving lingering.
