Loving you feels like

An anchor in deep waters

Steady in the unsteady

Honey dripping from the rock

A bandage over a gaping wound

Body warmth on a cold night

Freedom over cyclic thoughts

Scents of acacia on a crisp summer afternoon

A beam of light in the night

A small voice in the silence

All of my favorite people in one place

A bowl of milk after Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Sticking my head out the sunroof in 80 degrees

An “It will be okay” when it’s not okay

Sunshine after a thunderstorm

A familiar feeling in the vast unknown

A reaching hand

Sweet berries for my hungry soul

A basket overflowing of goodness

A clear sky of fluffy white clouds

Calm, gentleness and peace

A green field of evergreens and honeysuckles

A way made, when there was no way

A serenade for me being me and you being you

Feeling enough, even to the point of abundance

The prettiest blue opal ring

Stars in the sky, all with their own names

A phone call from my best friend

Peppermint tea freshly brewed before bed

A silky pillowcase wrapping a feather pillow for my heavy head

The warmest embrace that silences my pain

Sweet chocolate, melting on my fingertips

Uncontainable, as if my body could burst

A slow and steady dance, one that won’t end
