Heaven

Leaning into you

I guess I

Couldn't resist

I was tired

It was instinct

Can I really fight instinct

When it's leading me to you?

The soft flutter of butterfly wings against

My skin

The gentle pressure of your shoulder

Every shift

Like smooth ripples

A stone in water

Against my arm

All the things

Everything

Magnetized

The sun giving way to a purple hazy sky

Moon hanging at its fullest in the window like

Something I could touch

Thoughtful quiet

Content to just listen to you

Talking

Vocal reassurance that you are real and

You are here with me and

You want to be with me

Warmth

Heaven

It didn't feel like hyperaware ohmygod ohmygod like

Lightning it

Felt like relaxed

Happy

At ease

Stress levels heart rate dropping

I trust you

Sensing you feel what I'm doing sensing you feel it is

Intentional

If you don't think my touch is on purpose you

Shy away

I do too

This time it was we both knew it

I could hear it in your laugh

Turning my face

Your was right there

That right there

That snapshot

Heaven

    Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

    Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

    Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
