loving is a singular
pain that sticks, caramel sugar
on skin. the sweetness,
a distraction later,
best enjoyed as wounds heal.
i've never been this head over heels for someone, for better or worse, even when we annoy each other or sometimes aren't our best selves. she loves a version of me that i sometimes forget to love for myself.
