Love story

I'm in love with rainy nights

.. Street lights...   

Cat bites..  My hand.   

I don't mind..

I loved you more..

Just never said anything before. 

But its true... 

There is warmth and kindness and empathy

and depth -- all the above when I think of you..

  On a multitude of levels..

But i don't know what i can part with

 in this life..

How selfish i am..

Self aware that i am..

  How to keep it flowing

keep it moving.. 

Transgress in the flesh..  Hold my arm.. 

Make me stronger everyday

in a different way..

Health and wellness..

Defined and jealous.. 

Keep words hidden..

Names forbidden

to say..

Hush hush....

Secrets and suspicions..

Premonitions

Sweet sleep..

Dream deep.. 

Souls to keep

There is something super raw and real about this piece. The placement of each word sounds very sincere and perfectly placed.
