An afternoon with you

the light is honey and the air is sticky and your presence makes the day feel sweet.
i feel safe around you.
a different kind of safe. like all the terrible thoughts that kept me up at night and all the things i worried about in the morning have suddenly lost their weight.
weightless. that's how it feels.
to have you in front of me. to have someone i can see and touch and love.
you feel like summer, you feel like the space between christmas and new year's.
good things have been. good things are coming. good things are right in front of me now.
