the best compliment ever.

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

B for Brumm!

His nose crinkles in anticipation as the silkiness of my fingers reaches over to grasp his cherubic porcelain cheeks. Tugging at each other lips like school mates playing catch in the middle of the school yard before collapsing into a quivering heap of giggles brings an odd but familiar comfort.

As a feisty head strong person, it takes something close to a miracle for me to understand a view of another. Everything that you stand for, everything that endears me to you, everything that made this magic possible between us made me want to spend every last minute with you even though, I understand that it would conflict with everything that made you, who you are.

I want to get to know you and not destroy you. For that reason alone, I cannot be selfish. I have to respect your decision, your choice regardless of how fragile it may seem. Life has to run it’s course and we deserve to see what we see.
