I have felt this.
This sense of euphoria
from learning a new
skin, human, heart
the lines of your silhouette
freckles on your body,
the way someone smiles
or nervously looks away.
I’ve felt this.
So to say, “I’ve never felt
this way before”
Would be a disservice to you
Because truly, it’s not
even about having felt
this way, but more
about wanting to feel like
this for the rest of my life
with Only you.
Voila, there it is –
I’ve said the same words
to the same kinds of people
and yet, you feel different
Because my desire is to
keep this poetry you bring
from me and enshrine it
in Emerald and wild blue flowers.
