The Only Love I Have Ever Known.

I fell in love
with the breath he took in when ever he laughed
with the way his teeth aligned when he smiled

I fell in love with the way he knew
without asking
& fuck
the deepest dimples I've known right on his lower back

I fell in love
with the way he looked at me
when he'd tease me
or when he was about to tell me that I was loved.

I fell in love with
the honestly in his eyes
when he asked me why I think that he's been alone all this time.

I fell in love
With how he was blunt
without ever being mean.

I fell in love with how
he never looked for the words that would fulfill me
but managed to find them anyway.

I fell in love with
how he made my heart swell when he traced his fingers innocently along the frame of my body.

I fell in love
with how he could bring out the soft in me
without asking for it
pushing me to set it free & amplify
tenfold.

I fell in love
with how my passion and fire
didn't burn him
& how he even
made it his home.

I fell in love
with how he knew every outline
every scar
every story
& loved me more.

I fell in love
with the way his lips knew when to kiss me gently
& the way he tasted like home

I fell in love
with the way he could spot my lies
my pretenses
my walls
& push me to be myself.

I fell in love
with how sharp he kept his mind
& how deep he wallowed in his thoughts.

I fell in love
with the Chuck Taylor's
that he wore when he met me
& again when he first kissed me.

I fell in love
with the way his skin
dark & beautiful
would radiate in the sun
& the way his eyes would illuminate the way the galaxies did in the sky.

I fell in love
& this is how
& this is how
he snatched my soul &consumed me in more love than I have ever known.
