in a dark room on a bed that creaks holding hands and we're laughing you're stunning reverence in your voice i feel holy, and i feel beautiful
- II -
hungover on a park bench the third time we ever met you're telling me about your poetry i'm telling you i've never had a muse we're both nervous, but it's nice, too
- III -*
your hands are in my hair and we fit like puzzle pieces you love me with your eyes and i melt, even before you touch my body
- IV -
half-asleep curled into each other netted in the safety of your arms a mumbled *i adore you as you pull me closer in there is safety here, and kindness
