her eyelashes graced my skin so subtly
a breeze emanating from her shook my bones

when she kissed my collar i felt an overwhelming pressure inside my heart and in my stomach

her bottom teeth didn't quite line up
and she had a bump in the middle of her nose

when i touched her knee she sighed and leaned further into my cavernous chest

her knees knocked when she walked
and her jeans were always a little too big

she held my hand and guided me through the park to her favorite spot

her hair always curls especially tight by her ears
and the freckles on her legs form a constellation

the leaves were occupying every inch of the ground except one spot was clear,
just past a hill and to the left of a lake

i shuddered at the damp air and wiped my eyes at the sight of the sun
but when i saw her peaceful reflection, and the yellow and red and green leaves and the sun rising behind foggy clouds
and heard nothing but twittering birds and our quiet breaths mixed
i swear i fell into the most comfortable web,
which i have been unable to escape since
