he_gives_me
andrea a look from all the way across
the room, over the heads of
those who know about us & those
who have not yet guessed
I smile a secret smile,
remembering the feel of
his hands

a sense of peace when he kisses
my forehead, gently stirring
up all of my emotions
I feel the butterflies stretch
their wings & attempt to fly
as high as my dreams

a dream in the middle of the
night, only to wake up afterward
& know that my dream could
also be my reality
I cuddle close to the animals
he’s given me & feel him
even though he’s not there

a feeling of completeness, to no
longer be afraid & empty, now
trusting in his words & his eyes &
filled by the vision of him
I feel my heart settle into
the place I’ve always longed
for it to be
