I didn’t notice it when I met him
I just thought he was a pretentious snob
Who wore shirts with a pink whale
He was a mess and a half
And I had other things in mind
However he would not
Go
Away
I remember the night so clear
I was shaking in my bed
Freezing
Alcohol on my breath
I needed someone to hold me
I couldn’t get warm
I closed my eyes and cried
Just for everything
And I felt someone crawl
into bed next to me
he held me so tight
my body relaxed into his
my head fit so perfect under his chin
the tremors stopped
the tears stopped
and there were his lips against mine
And that’s when I learned
Infinitely more things about life
