i want to discover everything about you

i want to learn your scars and freckles and flaws

i want to do all of this while lying on your bare mattress

while your eyes dart from my lips to my cheek to my eyes

and our eyes meet

and we smile

and i smirk

and you smile more because you like the smirk

and i giggle because i get a little shy

and then you kiss me

and it all starts again

i want to figure out what makes you who you are

i want to learn the pattern of freckles on your face and across your back

and i want our breath to fall in sync as our chests rise and fall on those wintery mornings after we've been in bed for 18 hours straight
