It's like I'm flying, but you've anchored me to the earth, keeping me from drifting too far away, always waiting to pull me in if I need it.

It's like that inhale/exhale that people do right after they've stopped crying and their head is reeling and they don't really know anything except that they want, they need, someone to hold them, and when that's me, you're there, you always are.

It's like sinking into bliss after you've finished a good book or movie and you're sifting through every emotion the story leaves you with, because you make me feel everything all at once.

It's like feeling the warmth that fills your body after you've downed a warm drink, that's what it's like to be with you.

It's like laughing at the best joke you've ever heard and never wanting it to end, and if I'm with you, it never does.

It's like lying down and closing your eyes after a long day and feeling the stress leave you like knots untangling from a mess, that's what you do to me.
