the way I feel about you

is hot tea and daffodils

your sleeping body
stretched across a sofa
head nestled against me

a red balloon in summer
a winter bridge and your arm around me
a wedding dance

quiet disagreements
and quick apologies

your hands on my body
your lips on mine
my head against your shoulder

a paper castle
red gold fish
a tree of light

the care you take
and deep blue stars
