this is how you know i want you.

by AVA.

i am sitting and you are sitting with me. this is new and i am nervous. nervous that this will not go anywhere. nervous that this will go too far. i think i love you. i think this is possible.

i don't remember much from last night aside from your eyes and how they never left mine.

how much is too close before i'm smothering you? how much is too far before you forget i exist?

i fell hard. you fell fast. we knew of no other way to fall.

you are an earthquake, a sudden thing. you move and my body shakes. you speak and i tremble. you are a mountain, a stunning thing. you are the sand that's against the grain. you stand and i stumble.

i pay attention to you more than i pay attention to anything. everything you do is infectious. everything you do is new to me. how can someone's laugh be so lovely and different every single time?

i’m so hooked on how your mind works, on what you notice, on everything that excites you. i'm so caught up in how you see the world, how you see everything and still offer up your love for all to take it.

i have no desire to own you, to claim you. i love you just as you are. free. your own. i just want to be near you. to love you. to be with you, as much as you will allow.

you say my name and fireworks of wildflowers bloom mad in the sky and a garden grows wild in my heart.

i open for you like a flower. i let you in like a new day.

i love how easily i fall asleep when i'm with you.
