This felt safe, this felt meaningful, this felt like I found someone I could share my peace with. Someone who doesn't take, but adds to the understanding of peace.
Who would've thought I would start dating again, who would've thought I could find someone who matches my calmness. Has a desire for adventure, a smile that pulls the corner of my lips gleaming across my face, a personality of warmth and thoughts cool and peaceful, laughter that softens and deepens the affection I feel for him.
Being with him feels like warmth underneath the beaming sun on a low tide cool blue beach day.
As each day passes, I feel my affection for him deepen in my chest. It deepens with every conversation and fun fact I learn about him.
I catch myself looking over my shoulder to steal a peak at his soft hazel eyes or see the crinkle of his eyelids when the corners of his mouth fold into a smile.
I am mesmerized by his laugh, his kindness, the calmness of his presence, and the ripple of laughter his jokes create in a room.
Does the dictionary have a word to describe the emotions of warmth, happiness, and peace his presence evokes?
I close my eyes and remember where his fingertips last grazed my skin, gentle and firm like his lips on mine. I think of cranberries, our own inside joke to reference sweet kisses. Those sweet and heated kisses I felt myself falling for each time I saw him, I closed my eyes and leaned in towards those soft lips of his and felt my chest light like a feather, safe in his arms, desired and enamored with him.
"You're falling for me," I tease as we pull away from our embrace to catch fresh air. However, it is me who is falling too. Falling for the sound of his voice, his calmness, his ambition, his desire for growth, and his vulnerability to accept me for me.
