i'm in love every inch of you,

the stretches of pale skin along your arms that are severed with cuts and scars,
the white canvas of your back speckled with flickers of freckles,
silk-like skin of your fingers sliding across my own.

brown curls licking my fingers and face as you hold me and stubble tickling the secret corners of my neck,
every tiny fleck of grey splattered in the magnetic blue of your eyes that reflect into mine.

every gentle touch of you on my own skin,  
every inch your eyes don't see and the inches you cannot feel beneath your fingertips.
every length of whisper slipping in my ear
and soft lips kissing my own hurt.
