Facets

 

I'm happy.

I think I'd forgotten what that felt like.

Simple pleasures...a smile, a touch,

a meal, a movie...

laughing, loving...

sleeping, spent, in one another's arms.

 

He's home...

in my arms, my bed, my heart...

loving each other

with a new depth...

an intensity

born of near loss

 

I'm content.

I'd nearly forgotten how good it feels

to look into his eyes...

sparkling with playfulness,

darkened with passion...

just knowing he loves me.

 

I'm frightened.

There. I admitted it.

I'm afraid...

of how much I feel,

how much I love him.

I couldn't bear to lose him now
