i’m so happy being with you. you make me calm, you make me feel the most peace i have ever felt in my
life. your hands wrapped around me, strong and reassuring, your hands are peace. they are soft and gentle
on my skin, holding me, keeping me steady. your eyes that look into mine. the delicate brown, doe-eyed
boy, you are. eyes so soft yet so sad, speaking words to me that no one has ever said, silently screaming
‘can you help me? i’m in pain.’ your eyes say this to me, but your mouth says otherwise. coiled into a
vibrant smile, no sign of hurt, no sign of unrest, solely peace. i read your eyes, they speak to me. i place
your head in my hands and kiss you. a small and warm wet droplet rolls stealthily from my left eye. i
don’t want you to feel pain. i am sending you hope through this delicate embrace. i am sending you all my
love, enclosed into one action. the tears have dried, they are now sodden harsh lines on my cheeks. i love
the way you taste on my lips, so soft so sweet, so delicate, inside my mouth. flavors of succulent roses
and mint encircling my tastebuds, all i taste is you. this kiss seems to last a lifetime. i never want it to end.
