surprise

I turned
to look out of the window
determine who had decided to park
right beneath me
to see which person had deemed
my dance studio
as their car’s rest place
and I saw his face
looking up at me from behind the wheel
with a grin full of joy and slight cheek
knowing he had surprised me

And all I have written
for months
is love poetry

I have had no reason
to entertain any other feeling
than adoration
my life
these last months
have been so full of love
that he is all I can write of

I sprint down the stairs
and search for the keys
in the desperation
they are hiding
almost taunting me
he’s so close, I can practically
hear his heartbeat through the door
and the thought of his arms
make my knees buckle to the floor
I can’t help wanting more
I find the keys
shove them impatiently in the keyhole
and open it wide
to see him smiling

it feels like a celebration
for how hard I have been trying

And then
I get hours
of bliss
hours of thinking
“I could get used to this”
hours of realising
how much he’s been missed
I miss him without even realising it

He holds my hands gently
almost cautiously
they’re so soft, I swear it doesn’t feel real
this is more than anyone has ever made me feel
and his face
when he brings it close to mine
is nothing but kind
I kiss his forehead
because I love his mind
and he kisses mine

I will never tire of writing him
I will never tire of being so loved
that everything I write
is dripping with love.
