Loving You
I didn’t think about love much
What is the role of a kiss?
For someone who considers isolation bliss
What is the purpose of a hug?
For someone unaccustomed to touch
I grew use to the anticipation of sex without passion
Desiring connections without compassion
Never thought of a relationship more old-fashioned
Until you stayed past the sun’s fist rays of light
Typically my bed-mates take a quick flight
Into the cold, ambiguous descent of night
But the warmth of your steady hands sung a new song to me
It made me think that maybe…
I don’t have to be alone after all
No more binging on anime and funny cat videos
Hoping that a friend or family member calls
Though I still enjoy the silence
And the peace of my solitude
I have new aspirations to latch onto
Different restaurants to visit with food so delicious
You’re thrown into a celebratory mood
While enjoying the feel of a playful breeze
Blowing by in the afternoon
That’s the unexpected beauty of loving you
Love always, Esha ❤
