SO SWEET

It’s the way that you smile. Like you’re not used to this new feeling of euphoria, and you’re learning to be happy. In its innocence, a sprout is seen from the cracks. It’s the way that you laugh. Heartily enough for me to admire the gap in your teeth, holding a sacred knowing that I’m the cause of this beautiful sound. It’s the way that you look at me. Softened eyes, with a longing we both share. We speak a language we have created with both our souls. Spoken across time and boundaries, telepathically. Whatever this is, it is not our first time. I have loved your soul before, as you have loved mine, in a time where the skins we wear currently, were different. It’s the way that you say my name. Like it were made for your lips, and yours alone. Like honeycomb on your tongue. So sweet, so sweet, so deliberate…
