a lover from a fool: undeserving of softness

you lay softly beside me, our bodies interlocked as you gaze into my eyes—i am not sure why i love you with the gravity that i do, i really just met you. i never favoured my name but you whisper it like a wedding vow into my ear alongside sweet nothings and maybe i decide that it was created with a tangible softness only you could unveil.

you touch me with intention and a kindness i have never known, my questioning does not anger you and nor does my prescence as you beg me to stay through till morning. i trace over your skin—there is not an inch i could hate and as sunset turns to sunrise i yearn for this moment to never end, sleeping alone is too hard now that i know your warmth—i am naked but so are you and you cradle me with purpose that i was unaware of.

my heart physically aches for you as my mind is enternally consumed by your image and your scent raps around me atmospherically, my stomach churns with butterflies that will burst through my abdomen sooner or later.

and in the end i had never before dreamt of marriage and domestication but you have made a lover out of a fool and i will yearn evermore until my soul is rotted to nothing but an essence of my love for you.
