On more pleasant terms

how can I describe the sweetness of your breath

as I inhale it

the roughness of your chin

when you kiss me

the stubbiness of your nails

as you clutch my hand in yours

the tickle from your diaphragm against mine

as your bed time breaths steady and deepen

the softness of your eyelids

always hidden by your glasses

the coarseness of your hair

as its laced between my fingers

your dynamic eyebrows

the gaps between your teeth

your long second toe

I can't sleep, I'm hyper aware of your presence next to mine.
