1. comfort

if I had to name you after an abjective
I would use "comforting"

I don't know how to explain it,

even if I knew every word In the English vocabulary I still couldn't explain it to you

mostly because even I don't understand;
Even I don't understand how you make me feel like this

I don't get how your skin touching mine can make me feel so safe.

I don't get how your lips touching mine can make me feel so happy, warm

I don't get how your hands holding my face can make me feel so secure

I don't get how something so simple can mean so much to me

and honestly, I don't want to understand.

maybe that's the beauty of it all, not getting it.

the things you understand, are the obvious, simple, "every day life" things.

things you see, hear, touch, feel every single day

things you know

but this comforting feeling, I never knew.
this ease in living, I never felt.

if I had to name you after an abjective

I would use comforting

because that's the feeling you introduced me to

I thought I knew it before
but what I felt, was simple confusion

when you came around

i remembered that comfort
is like being in your mother's arms after falling down as a kid

I remembered that comfort is supposed to be a great feeling

I remembered that comfort is so much more than settling

I used to think that comfort was that, having the bare minimum and making it mine

but you make me feel just like I felt in my mother's arms

your company feels like a hug
this fuzzy feeling I have when I'm with you
is nothing more than comfort

if I had to name you after an abjective

I would use comforting

because, besides love, that's the only thing I feel with you

when you're around, all my worries go away.
all my inner voices shut down
all my problems fly away

that's what I really call comfort:
the reassurance you give me without even using your words

only using your body;

your hands caressing me
your lips brushing against mine
your eyes talking to me

your ears listening to words I don't even say out loud

your skin melting with mine, bonding us like we were made to melt into each other's bodies till we become one single person

if I had to name you after an abjective

I would use comforting

and I say I would
because I don't know any other abjectives that describe you so well

I'm not sure they exist, actually
you're one of a kind, honestly

and a simple abjective could never make you understand how I feel around you

the abjective, "comforting". the meaning, you.

-from r, to g.
