Me

Your smile lightens the weight off my shoulders,

That brief text in the middle of the day that says hello,

The way you stare at me across the table,

The butterflies that I get in my stomach when I see your picture on my phone,

Our conversations that seem to drift away in time,

The way you laugh at my clumsiness and everyday chaos,

The way I feel as a person, when I am around you,

The “sexy” I feel when you are not around,

The way I smile around my children thinking of you in the distance,

The way I feel as a mother, friend, lover, and daughter when you say the things you do,

For the first time in my life I feel refreshed and not afraid to let the truth out,

To be me...
