Him!

He came into my life when my life was empty
I had nothing to give, and I was in pieces
I had given up on the idea of a relationship
On feelings of intimacy, on feeling attracted,
A pull for someone so strong,
that their thought never leave your mind
I had given up the idea of falling for someone

Romantic? Friendship? Situationship?
Don't name it. It takes away the passion
Labels are for people who box the emotions
Don't say it's love. It bends the meaning
Names are for children learning to be a human

When he is around, I feel at peace
Not just comfortable, but my whole body relaxes
My mind, wandering at 1000 different places
comes back to a focus, like it finally found a reason.

He made me feel emotions I had never experienced before
The feeling of being understood, I never thought I know
My therapist may have given me tools to cope with my anxiety
But I discovered the only tools that make sense to me
His voice, his breath, his gentle touch,
his hugs, his kisses, his beautiful eyes,
Endless conversations, tight cuddles, and fingers intertwined
