I’m solaced by the flutter in my gut at the sight of you. Like a monarch spreading it’s wings for the first time; new and exciting. Even your smell haunts me.

You came to me when I least expected it, and stayed like I hoped you would. Cordial and charming, you swept me off my feet like a cool coastal wind, allowing me to finally relax and wring my toes in the sand.

Until now, I’ve always been content with solitude. But now I don’t find the same comfort in being alone. I never realized the beauty of a silent place can be so deafening without you next to me.
