the way i feel about you?
it's a gorgeous sort of pain in my chest
(sharp and insatiable)
and a low burning deep in my belly
(smoldering and
always
for you).

it's the
slow smiling kisses when we know we should be going,
it's the
way you breathe when we're close
(raggedly and
oh god.)
it's your tongue and your hands and your eyes
and the way you smile and the way you laugh
and the way you tell me i'm beautiful
(so truly
with eyes downcast and smile tugging
at the corners)
it's your arms around my waist and your fresh-shaved face against my forehead.
it's you,
and i love it.
