is this what you meant when you said “wait ten years to show me the love letters so i can watch you cringe because it’s so fucking sappy”?

late last night

around ten o’clock

i was suddenly gripped

by an overwhelming feeling

an overwhelming wonder

at the beauty of life

it’s too hard to explain right now

i still don’t have the words

but i remember seeing it

in your espresso eyes

in the way you held me tight

and told me i was beautiful

how in that fragile moment

i felt right for the first time

i remember the way you smiled at me

while we cuddled on your bed

there was barely enough room for us

as your hand caressed my head

i remember you looked so serene

your hair falling on your face

i wondered what it was that made you

extend your sweet embrace

i remember waking up

in the middle of the night

seeing your eyes closed

your gentle face

right next to mine
