A Letter to My Love

Kevin Wilson

 

As I sit here and hold you, my eyes closed,

I place my hands on your sides and let your warmth run through me.

I feel as if, until this moment, I have never been alive.

I notice, you smell like strawberries,

And I lean in just a little closer, inhaling deeper.

As I get closer, my lips fall just a little and I can almost taste you as I breathe.

My lips come to rest on you, and I know this is real

This is a love I have found that will be with me every morning to come.

As the morning draws to a close, I stand up and prepare for my day

My mind wanders back to you,

and I silently thank you for letting me depend on you

I love you, Coffee.
