I like the way
you order me dessert
you make sure we get to talk everyday.
you include me in your life, by introducing me to your sisters, friends, and chickens
you invite my friends to come over and play poker
you share your music with me
you watched a play because I told you about it
you say I don’t know.
you laugh, because your laugh fills up the whole room
you blow on my tea to make sure it isn't too hot for me to drink
you got me a book because we both like the same writer
you watch me sleep
you touch my hair when you kiss me
you walked in my garden with me
you enjoy coffee and insist i try a different flavor
you nibble on my arm and fingers
you put your whole heart in every hug.
I don’t like the way you’re going to leave before you realize how much you are loved.

"The only way to avoid pain is not to love anyone, not to let anyone get too close or too important. The secret to not being hurt like this again, I decided, is never depending on anyone, never needing, never loving."
-Audre Lorde, She of Infinite Wisdom
The antidote to this entry. Hehe.
and an antidote to what happened immediately after.
you can't imagine how audre lorde has helped preserve my sanity yet again.
