Inching closer, my space fills with all that is him. His scent and his warmth. His cloudy eyes and the chaotic emotions swirling inside of them. Those emotions are mine. I want to snatch them up, hug them, and somehow insert them into my chest so they can find company with my own erratic feelings. The closer I am to him, the more the world disappears. The entire universe is tucked into the small space between us where my knees nearly graze his. “You are important.”
