Nov 2017
out of breath, filled with heavy breaths
trying to catch our breath,
my eyes are closed and i feel you look over at me
with an expression on your face
like you've never been so amazed
"you look so beautiful right now," you whisper to me in between breaths
i grin with my eyes still close
(i'm speechless when i'm with you).

our breaths are almost caught
and you reach out and touch my lips
"they're so red and beautiful," you say softly
and for the first time in my life,
i could feel the loves for me in someone's gaze
and for the first time in my life,
i felt as beautiful as someone tried to tell me i was
and just like that,
i have to catch my breath again
