This is Love

Written sometime in December 2003

He's most striking

Right when he wakes up

Arms wrapped around me

Legs entangled with mine

 

As he slowly opens his eyes;

Wipes away the last of a dream

Yawning, I can faintly smell the first light on his breath

 

He leans in towards me-

That first kiss is the sweetest

I smile slightly as our lips convene

3 seconds pass, and I gently pull away

 

He pulls my head into his chest

As I wriggle my hands around his back

I lazily trace hearts with my nails

 

Then he kisses my forehead, says

softly he loves me

I know that he means it

This is Love is about the beginning months of my relationship with "him" and 7 and a half years later Temporary Fix is the end. I never wrote a single poem in between...

I like the "heart" in this one... at 17 you did extraordinarily well with expressing the emotion of that moment.
