I know what it feels like to be loved by you. I know what it feels like to press my head against yours and feel so incredibly content. I know what it feels like to lay with your arm around me, my head fitting perfectly in your shoulder like a puzzle created just for us. I know what it feels like for you to stroke my head and tenderly tuck strands of hair behind my ear. I know what it feels like to be kissed by you. I know what it feels like to be so passionate and yet so attentive. I know what it feels like for you to make me feel so important. I know what it feels like to want to spend the rest of my life with someone. I know what it feels like to stay awake just for the sound of your voice. I know what it feels like to laugh alongside you and feel my issues dissolve so easily. I know what it feels like to fall asleep in your chest, your arms wrapped around me. I know what it feels like to see your smile and involuntarily have one stretched across mine. And now I know what it feels like when you leave.
