We made a mess of my sheets but I don’t want to change them.
The smell of you on my pillowcase is the closest you can be for now
and
your home is where my heart is.
Time drags on with the distance between us,
but
ticking off the days until you’re in my arms again makes me feel as bright as a Jonah Taylor song playing in the summer.
I know I’m falling in love because you feel like a gentle rain on a warm day easing my weary spirit.
I’ve been afraid of the rain for a while,
but I let myself walk outside to smell the petrichor.
Now I only wish I had gone outside sooner, for you’ve brought my earth to life.
