Growing

Sad_therapist

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
