I LOVE

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
