the warmth of your hands
makes me yearn for cold nights
and wool blankets
and how it felt to sit in your car and
talk to you for 5 hours about
next to everything.
if, two years ago,
someone had told me it was possible
to fall for someone so deeply
and still have that feeling every day,
even months later,
i would have shaken my head
and explained that love is work-
that the christmas morning type feeling
goes away after two weeks,
maybe two months if you are lucky
but here we are 7 months later
and i still feel the same,
and even more.
maybe it's easy for me to jump to this
so early because i have never had someone
as supportive and independent,
have never loved someone so reasonable
so personable and outgoing,
with such solid morals,
without imposing any of these onto me.
you hold me with open hands
instead of clenching you lift me up
i know i am not tethered to you,
i know i am free to fly
and because of this i still come back.
