You just made it all so much worse. How can you tease me like you do, showing up looking like that? Just when I thought I’d reigned myself back in, too. Oof.

Motivation
My motivation is a secret, but maybe not-so-secret to you. Perhaps you can tell that my body breathes a sigh of relief when you walk into view. I wanna be ready, I wanna look good. I want your quiet, sly attention. I want people to think, “wow, they’d be cute,” in case we ever met… Continue reading Motivation
Maybe Someday
I think of a Maybe Someday, and it looks like late spring. Sunny and warm enough but not too hot. A breeze that you can’t even notice, but that keeps you comfortable. Everything is easy like that. It looks like a lake, probably one that you know well. Maybe Someday is distant, but not unimaginable.… Continue reading Maybe Someday

Awake together, alone together
I’ve been up all night already and only now are you settling into my mind. Unusual. Where have you been, love? I’m sure you’re asleep. You’re resting up for another day, another end to another week.

One Particularly Fervent Kiss
How many times has one particularly fervent kiss completely changed the course of fate? Or better yet, how many times has simply the thought of such a kiss sent someone’s future into a total tailspin? I’m sure it’s happened too often, just as I’m sure I can’t afford to let it happen to me. But…mmm.… Continue reading One Particularly Fervent Kiss
