Analysis of Growing
Soft touches
Side glances
A small upturn of the mouth
Stolen glances
Quiet words
Loud thoughts
A gentle breeze
from stifled laughs
A whisper of a touch
Unspoken promises
Racing hearts
Shallow breaths
Warm, rosy skin
from secrets untold
A knowing look
Blown pupils
Plans, dreams, philosophies
Fear, passion, safety
Held tongues
Cotton sheets
Splayed hair
Warm winter sun
Peace
Comfort
Joy
Love
This is when we come alive
