This is it.
The soft touch of a hand
Brushing your arm
The pressure of lips on your forehead.
Affection
Love is when it tingles
It lingers on the skin like
Scars. So many scars
Left by others before but those don't matter.
You don't feel them tingle anymore
What matters is now. In the moment
It could stay for minutes or hours
But it still stayed and it still made you feel again.
You felt something you didn't think
You could feel again.
It's the little things. This is when you know
Other things are what made you
Feel in the first place
Smile, laugh, mannerisms.
These things matter but
Feeling is important and when all
That has happened to you in the
Past was
Take take take
Then it feels good for someone to give give give
A **** about you again.
This is how you know.
