It’s from beyond the grave what I will say

It’s of broken promise and severed pinky

It’s that I like honesty and sweetness

I like your smile when I look at you from the corner of my eye and how you know everything that I forget.

I like how you call me adorable while your fingers entwine in my curlers

I love that you caress me while you tell me about your day

I love being able to snuggle up to your side and sleep away the weekend.

In truth, I am not much for passion and breathless kisses

I'm not into chasing buses and shouting from the balconies.

What makes me weak,

It's the warmth of your breath in my ear as you tell me how you adore me

The tapping of your fingers on my neck while calling my attention.

The simple sharing of looks that translate everything that words can't.

I love that you know everything that I hide,

Because this is an affair between you and me.

That no one else should know how it is that with you I am pure and innocent.

I am all the unruined childhood.

I am kisses on the cheek and hugs on the back.

I'm whispered songs and dancing on tiptoe

Because silence says that with you, whom I love, I unfold.

Ta.
