raw

you’re letting me love you
with my heart on my sleeve
and my eyes wide open

with honesty
and simplicity

in an
un-conventional
un.cookie.cutter’y
un-spectacular
yet

greatest love of all time
kinda way

hoping you can’t see
through to my soul
(and knowing you do)
(and amazed that you
still want to
even though
you see)
me

kinda way

laughing while making love
let’s inspire greatness in each other
thank you for parking in the driveway
kiss your eyelids while you’re sleeping

hand on my throat
heart in your hands

first and last thought
where’s my phone
in the morning

kinda way

through fear and doubt and
‘i.vowed.i.would.never.do.this.again’
i’m letting you love me too

cause baby,
this aint nothing like that
ever tried to be
