Pain au chocolat

I watch my pace as I walk to you and I feel the music slow down. I am telling my heart ‘stop pounding ! Restless hearts break easy.’ I look up and there you are – a funny feeling in my bones, a new infinite in my chest, a beginning of all things red – you.

Wrap me in your arms and let me sink inside your chest, you are the puff pastry and I am your chocolate bits. My heart holds your taste like a secret oath and oh how I crave it. The morning that you held me in your embrace telling me the sweetest thing and how I kissed you in affirmation- that moment I knew… we were rare.

I remember looking back thinking how I have failed before, spiralling in thoughts of how everything good ends for me. Then I look at you teaching me ‘balance’ and my heart just starts to wonder if all the heartbreaks were worth the love you were meant to give me – I’ll 150% do it all over again to get here.

Love,

J
