Loving You

To Ethan

I was told love is like summer air,

thick and heavy and suffocating,

it clings to your skin and weighs you down.

Yet, I think my love is better, for loving you is

like sleeping in Autumn leaves, damp with rain,

while the sun wraps its warmth over your aching

bones.

I said I would not break myself for

you. I will set the world on fire, before I

burn myself for your pleasure.

You love me though, and despite

my promise, flames run through my

veins, warming both of us.
