As your arms wrapped around my body,

I thought to myself, what more do I need?

Feelings of love, feelings of safety consumed my body

Breaking down every rational thought I had

I heard the tone of your voice,

And every single word you said

And thought to myself,

Is this coming from the same body I hold every night?

My stomach dropped and suddenly, I lost my words

How long was I blind?

The idea of you was inevitably attached to my thoughts

And now that the curtains dropped,

I can finally see you, I said

While I mourn my idealized version of you
