Poem: "He"

On days where being with you, is where I can finally be me.

He's like the cool side of the pillow

that you know is there

and you can't wait to be with

He's the hug you always wanted

firm, but never trapping

and held just long enough to mean love.

He's the first bite of fresh-baked cookies

whose warmth feels familiar, but just novel enough

to feel like the first time, every time

He's like your favorite song

who knows with needle-sharp accuracy

what your soul cries out for

Never did my lungs feel so full of air

or my feelings be so unfettered

than on days where being with you

is where I can finally be me.
