I love you for what your love is turning me into. Being away from you and coming to this house has never been easy for me. It’s only been few hours since you’ve released me from your warm embrace, and you know what —I’m feeling sick, homesick. I couldn’t ever know how everything falls in place when you’re around. How everything gets perfectly okay when you’re around. I couldn’t ever know why no harm gets to touch me when you’re around.
And now when you’re there lying in your bed and I lying in mine, this hollowness fills my belly, clutching my muscles and I feel suffocated up the gut. And what worse, this shallowness suffocates me to the extent that I choke on the lump which forms at the end of my throat. I sit back once in a while to think about it, the difference between being around you and not. There’re always few dozens of absolutely new things which get added to the list. I am too naïve to understand the prints you’ve left on my skin and on my mind and onto my soul. The way your serene touch breezes over every inch of mine and fills me from within, takes me back to the moments of us snuggled, your chaste kisses on my forehead and the soothing way you cup my face, caressing my temple. I miss that every moment I lived with you.
Wait of the next time I would snuffle into your hair, is what keeps me smiling and the wait of the moment when your exhale will fill my lungs, keeps me alive.
Yours M
