don't forget to breathe

as you brush your fingers
up my inner thigh,
tracing up towards my navel,
then slightly touching my chest,
caressing my neck as
you cup your hands around
the corners of my glowing face
your lips dusted my lip balm
cinnamon-mint flavored lips
eyes staring back mine
a perfect milk chocolate match.

" i love you"

three little words
can make or break a situation.
it has the oxygen rushing to my brain
adrenaline is making me want you more.
i've waited forever and more
for someone to tell me those words
i've been searching and telling myself
what real love means
not the shallow, naive, fairytale promises
but whatever we can call love.

"i think I love you too"


the millions and thousands
of songs about heartbreak and romance
you would think i had it all figured out.
i walked around thinking i had all of life's lessons
about that tricky thing call love.
and here i am again, questioning my philosophy,
but this time is different
i didn't even have to think about it
it
just
happened.


the words might of just came out
but it came out.
I
Love
You.

I love you.
i said it aloud.
as i return your dusted kisses
with my cinnamon-mint flavored
lips plastered on yours
as i taste the insides
of everything i never knew
i wanted.

you.
