Leaning Into You

in my head
a vision of us
my heart aching
to make it a memory

I lean into you
on a sofa
your arms around me
sharing secrets safely
as we both have known
since I laughed
at your first joke
that this is safe

we have connected
And it scares us
but there is a reason
why we met
that day and no other...

I have awakened
as if from a dream
feelings I remember
so long forgotten

there is joy
possibility
vivid color
stronger scents
and I can fly

as if dreaming
I float above
the ground
gently moving
in the right direction
there is peace here

and a knowing...

I am changed.
