the sun is shining a little brighter
breeze feeling a little cooler
life is noticeably more enjoyable
even time flies faster
i am a lot more precious than i thought i was
why do i care so much
about my well-being?
i did care before
but not this much
why do i miss your touch?
it’s just flesh
touching flesh
after all
but yours alone
has this particular significance
it's more like
soul touching soul
before our souls met
i tried my best not to stress
but
stress still crept up and overshadowed me
tempted to call you my soulmate
you got me out of this mess
now
my peace is kept up and i’m proud of me
self-destructive habits are gone
i don’t want to leave you alone
well
not prematurely
but only when nature has run its course
and decided
that i depart first
your love is new to me
it doesn’t take away
the love i have for myself
it improves it
allowing me to be me
my love for you
forces me to love myself
for you
and that
is love multiplied
