drips

i believe i have
been in love
more than
once.

she laughs,
and i smile,
it is so beautiful,
like honey is
dripping from my
ears.

she touches my
forearm, and
sensations run down
my skin. flowers
bloom from her seeding,
marking me hers, hers, hers.

she stares into
my eyes,
and god i want to kiss her,
kiss her eyelids,
her mouth,
worship her body.
because i see planets
in those eyes,
and its such a shame you
cannot kiss what's inside a
person.

i try. i try my best.
because she is also
trying her best.
i am so lucky,
so lucky that
she says the same things
to me.
she makes me believe
they are true,
and she tells me
that if she says
goodbye,
i should never forget that.

everything she does is
so beautiful. and i fall
every single time,
so yes,
i've been in love
more than
once.
