as i hold you close -
as i
hold you in the
palms of my hands,
i smooth my thumbs
along the creases of
your spine.
i know
everything you’re
thinking by the
words written across your
skin, the words i once
kissed onto you
once upon a time.
we were so
alike - you understood me
like no one else could.
it was as if we had been
birthed from the
same brain and
nurtured from the
same heart.
love is love.
accept it or
go home.
