Love Like Winter
Her cold hands can barely feel his heat.
His lips tingle when he kisses her.
Ice meeting the sun.
My heart does this thing.
It skips a beat.
It pitter-patters.
Nothing matters
Except you.
Your smile warms me down to my toes.
I think everyone knows.
But I won’t say a word to them about it.
It’s our secret.
A secret the whole world knows.
They know you hold my hand,
bring me gifts,
kiss my nose,
hug me close.
They know it’s you I love,
I want,
I need,
I breathe.
