I Bite Poet Free verse

Content

His arm surrenders around my waist
not capture, not lie down
but as if, it's his natural instinct to do so
and he's no more fighting it

His hands lightly cascade down my hair
a small admiration
a soft sigh
he tries to not gain my attention
but I know, he loves it
whenever my eyes meet his

And I like it too, 
a tad bit more than I predicted
His face brightens up like sunflowers
he springs around my bed

A child, A man
A partner
Every small gesture holds meaning
A tiara of wildflowers
A dance in the middle of the road
He plays my favourite songs on the ride back home
I laugh, I laugh so much these days

I forget I was once a girl who cried over men
He waits, not pushes
He listens, not judge
He's adorable, I pinch his cheeks
and his face grows redder

I smile, he smiles too
and holds my hand in his sleep
And this time 
finally,
I don't feel like running away
I don't feel like a burning building in middle of an earthquake
I feel fine
really
Myself, and better
I feel like I transported to a world
where everything goes well, even when it doesn't
because as I lay here besides him, 
I intertwine our fingers together
and cuddle closer to him
thankyou god
thankyou god
thankyou god
for him...
