Day 86: Simple Things

Slow breaths, legs tangled,
and hearts beating together...
at last, I am home.

Day 85: Pearl

"You are a wonder,
a pearl in the mouth of an oyster
that remains hidden in the depths of the sea,
lucky is the person who finds you at last
and allows you to be free." 

Day 84: Numb

"The whole truth is that
sometimes it's better to feel
numb than to feel pain."

Day 83: Dreaming

"I've forgotten how it feels to have someone's arm around me, protecting me even when I wasn't scared. I've forgotten how it feels to wake up in the middle of the night because of soft kisses on my neck. I've forgotten what it's like to wake up and see someone on the other side of the bed, looking at me like I'm the only person on this earth. Now I wake up, expecting to see you, but all I see are my own mistakes staring back at me."

Day 82: Her

"Admire her.
Notice the crinkles that outline
her eyes like a crescent moon
when she smiles.
Watch how she giggles
or plays with her hands
when she's proud.

Touch her.

Prove to her that the stretch marks
decorating her skin
are intricate works of art.
Caress her with gentle hands,
soft fingertips admiring
every curve of her body.

Cherish her.
Imagine your life without her.


Adore her.
Tell her she makes you a better person.

Love her.
After all, she's the one who taught you how."

Day 81

"How I miss the days
when I would wake up to see
your mischievous smile..."

Day 80

There is nothing in
this world gentler than your touch;
please let me be yours.
