Him

His smile caresses my soul in a way that I didn’t know it could be touched. His laugh makes the air that was taken in by my mouth travel through my lungs; teaching me how to breathe again. His presence makes my rapidly pounding heart turn into a gentle lull- as calming as the sound of the wind making the trees dance. His entirety brings me a peace like no other, a sense of stability that I could never begin to comprehend with the way life sweeps me up in its waves; making me unable to stay at the surface for too long. Being with him brings me a certain profoundness I couldn’t begin to describe, and I meet a different version of me for the first time. Calm, delicate, joyful, hopeful, and free; traits found in this new version that could never be found in the original me. Similar to the opening of heavens gates at the last breath to flow from a new angel’s mouth, I greet a me that continues to come alive the more I devote myself to you; a peace that I pray lasts for a lifetime.
