I will never forget how you smelled that day
like your mom did your laundry and like you wanted me to
want you
and breathe you in until i got lightheaded
and had to sit down
and i will never forget the way you looked at me
like you could sort through all the clutter in my head
and i will never ever forget how your voice sounded soft and sudden and illuminated just like your eyes
when you said i was different and that was the exact moment when i let myself fall in love with you all over again.
