Summer Romance

i will
get up before 5am,
be there -
watching
as you wake up and

i will spend the day in your company –
i will
be joyful in your presence,
nourished, fearless and light and

as the night falls,
i will
be there -
watching
quietly and in awe, calm
as you disappear into orange layered skies and

stars rise on the firmament,
shivers on my skin,
freckles where you’d kissed me –

i will
see you in my dreams
i will
see you in the morning –

summer romance, skinny love
