this is how you know i want you.

by AVA.

some people are so deep you fall into them and you never stop falling.

i swear i knew your voice before i ever even heard it. you sounded like home.

i expected nothing and you became everything and this is hard for me to understand. i have never really felt this way and i can't really explain how i feel, i just feel like for the first time ever, everything here is enough.

there is a comfort in you i’ve never known. when i am with you, i am at rest.

i hate how mortal we are. i hate how we're going to rot and decay and return to the earth as these tragic and fragile things. i hate that nothing lasts forever, and i hate that this is what gives everything meaning.

we talk of plans that are going to happen. we talk of the future, as if we know we will last. there is a sort of comfort in that.

i don't tell you i love you, but i do. and you know, because of how i look at you. you know you are wanted by me. that i want to be near you, close to you. so close— you take in air, and it is i who comes alive.

i love how it feels to be with you, like you fit into me and i fit into you. i love how easily i fall asleep when i'm with you.
