to fall in love; to learn to speak

a cotton candy sky wraps the smiles tickling the corners of our cheeks in a golden haze, and i can’t help but save to memory each moment your radiant eyes catch mine,

even though i shyly look down each time.

grass stained feet stare back at me through a tangle of messy hair and my heart drops each time your velvet lips graze my skin. i gather your hand in mine, leaving a gentle kiss to remind you that my actions speak louder than the words i’m too nervous to say, and

my written story will tell more truth than will ever leave my lips.
