in love

a love poem? maybe?

in love

i am in love with the

sun, the way it colours the

sky as the earth spins on

its axis. i am in love with the changing

colours of the leaves, the way

they mark the passing of time

with splashes of orange and red

as far as the eye can see. i am in love

with the rain, the way it leaves

puddles to jump in and an

excuse to cozy up by a fire.

i am in love with the fog, the eeriness of

the Unknown,

the way it shrouds the city leaving

only the tops of buildings visible.

i am in love with being held,

the way it’s comforting and safe

and warm and intimate. i am in love with

closeness, the way i can trace

my fingers up and down your body,

absentmindedly. and i am in love with you,

the way you make me feel at

home and at peace.

but you, you are not in love with me.
