Forest

Holding you feels as if there's a thunderstorm going on between us.
I can feel the rain on my shoulders touching your face, iridescent from happiness, but somehow mellow.
Your eyes talk to me the most, and I can't unsee the distress in them.
I'm always glad to get lost in their loving swirls of light and forget about our terrenal misbehaviours
But today is no day to be selfish. I want to take care of you, even if it costs a bit of my heart.

So I do, I take all of your doubts, all of your sadness in one squeeze and a kiss.
I craddle your face, tell you you are amazing, brave, incredible, fantastic. Everything this world needs.
And of course, how proud I am of you and your ways, reminding you I will always be here for you
Even if you don't need me nor want me, I will always have a soft spot reserved for you and you only.
Call it however you want; love is always the hidden answer.

We smile at each other. All my flattering did wonders to your spirits.
We break apart. It's not raining between us anymore. Your smile is the sun and my laughter is the soft summer breeze.
Everything around us is so soft it feels like clouds. I feel caught in between the moment, our shared gaze, and my rapid heartbeat.
And you. You always.
You take my hand, kiss it, and we call it a day. There's too much to talk about, but not today.
