this love is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand out stretched but instead a heart set ablaze + a soul enchanted. this love makes me greedy for witness, come look at this man + see his flaws + all. tell me you see what i see.
we are in the kitchen together, you’re singing country music whilst i cook. come and be with me as i chop the potato’s, no you can not help. this is an act of love. i care about you and im making us something to eat. tell me stories of your childhood as i fry this up. i am giving you this food because i can not give you the world but i would if i could. this is special. we are together in my kitchen + im falling for you. this love has softened me. it’s stored in late night conversations + did you eat yet? how is your foot today? heads on shoulders, mid day naps + morning coffee made just right. folded towels + the beds made already. this love scares me.
