you feel like something so particular the way your eyelids close humbly around my voice your eyelashes softly piling around us like an altar lovely: you are dangerously lovely in the most familiar way (yet i know so little about you.) i wonder what you feel like heavy from the sweat of the morning summer. i imagine each of your ***** fingernails tracing a sadness i once knew. draw me a picture of how loudly you laugh when you're the loneliest and i will hum you a melody of how boldly the hairs on my skin stand when your cheek touches mine. if you wrote me a letter, i would stretch it into a blanket so I could dream in your words. if this is what infatuation feels like, i hope we never fall in love.
sometimes i sit down to write and the only words that come out are about you. how frustrating to have someone keep you up at night.
