“I want to love something. / I want to love something without having to apologize for it. Please don’t tell.”

i wasn’t looking for this.

i found him between one

good night and a lifetime.

it was a one in a million,

a stroke of luck in a game

of chance where the odds were

always stacked against me.

he made a bad hand

feel like a winning bet.

I always thought love was a wildfire;

blazing and furious, pages filled with flames.

now i know that i was wrong.

you are the peace that comes

with midnight after a long day.

ice cold water under a hot sun.

in the right light i swear

my body has known you in

a hundred different lifetimes and

we find each other in every one.

sunlight rests her golden hand on my cheek,

a blessing,

a reminder,

a glorious nudge towards all of the

warmth she knows i still have inside.

no matter how many times i try, i cannot be cold.

no matter how many times i tried to give it up,

this Leo heart burns for love.

for being held tight,

for the tangled legs in the morning,

for being starlight in all of your darkest rooms.

truth is,

i would put down all of my pride for you.

i am back here on my knees again;

love beats ego every time.
