You know, in case you ever decide you want to stalk me.
I think she has roots in the soles of her feet
and when she walks
she plants herself into the earth
and lets the earth take hold of her.
I think if you listened close enough
for long enough
you could just make out the sound
of those roots in those soles
lifting through the soil
sighing in the…
Cheeks
My cheek
found your cheek
and our eyes
shut
as if by
command.
In that moment
I saw
that this
is more
than I ever
believed
and the tears
we may share
are stronger
than the years
we have
waited.
