2023.35

One-word responses
Few and sent hours in-between
Must be going well

2023.34

Sweat like morning dew
Breath like a warm summer air
Love like memories

I think about you
And I smile, but then I think
about what happened.

It was warmer then,
When we would share a blanket
And talk all night long

Warm for so long when
Properly insulated
But not forever

I had no idea
I had been holding my breath
Until you said, "yes"

Calling all numbers
Because I lost yours and I
Could use your voice now

There are no curse words
As dangerous, powerful,
Or stunning as Love

The moon's brilliance
A reflection of the sun
A dance in the sky

Softly spoken words
In the comfort of darkness
Promises were made
