I love the way it looks, the flickering lights licking your cheeks I love the greens and the golds, embracing each other around the window frame I love your smile, and your warm hand on the nape of my neck I love the way it feels to go back in time I love my name on your lips, smooth and sweet like sugar melting on your tongue I love it when you say I’m staying I love it when you laugh I love cupping my hands around our eyes and making a secret universe I love never knowing when I’ll see you again I love hearing your voice quaver with so much truth I love falling asleep in your fleece I love red lights in the night time I love walking in the cold with my hand in your pocket I love this nothingness I love you I love the lingering smells on my pillow I love that you think I’m smart I love your little messages I love giving you everything that I have I love lacing fingers, locking hands I love the space in my heart for you and feeling it grow every single day I love closing my eyes and trusting you I love everything I love this I love what you have given to me I won’t let it go I promise
