A Small Part of My Heart

it was just the two of us then

giddy and playful

and i was happy just being with you

you were warm even

with the window open and the

freezing night air creeping in and

settling around us.

it was just the two of us then

talking in the dark

surrounded by a sea of white linen

you hand

touching my hair

my face

my neck.

it was just the two of us then

building our future

our faces turned blue from the

light radiating off the computer screen

skin almost translucent.

it was just the two of us then

cold hands and belly buttons

laughint until my stomach hurt

your smile

making me feel worth it

warming me and taking a small part

of my heart.

it was just the two of us then

silence and kisses

the smell of your skin and the

sound of your infinite breathing

engulfing me

captivating me.

it was just the two of us then

and i was happy just being with you

your warmth comforting me

your hand soothing me

and your smile -

your smile taking a small part of me heart.
