you had to have known.
it's impossible to kiss an angel and remain
unchanged.
someone so full of light,
her cheek pressed to yours,
those soft hands cupping your face,
her light breaths in between were sweeter
than the taste of her sugary lips.
i just can't imagine
how you could deny the truth after slowly
parting,
and hearing her laugh as your eyes open,
seeing her wide smile and those tiny stray
hairs coming undone from the half-pony
on the top of her head.
the way she must have looked at you,
all wide eyes and breathless excitement.
and i know she must,
after being the one.
she found her way around the inside of my
mouth and heart.
and hasn't left her home since.
