i like how happy they look in these pictures
because if we ever looked the way we felt, these were probably
our expressions. i even remember you on top of me like that. remember how
i'd always ask you if you were comfortable and then you'd say 'yes'?
and how i'd suddenly break that comfort by launching a massive nuclear
tickle attack at you?? hahaha, it was priceless watching you
laugh, beg, and struggle for your dignity.
.....but there were the calmer moments where you rested
above me. your eyes just seemed to wander and ask me
silent questions. we didn't even have to talk. being there together
was enough. touching your arms that at times surrounded my body,
or that at times caressed my face and hair, felt so right.
i was holding the arms of the only person i've ever loved.
i always admired how i fell in the best kind of love
the first time i tried, for good, for the right reasons
and with the highest of all hopes.
i know i loved you because the hope hasn't burned out yet.
