Our kisses echo throughout the parking lot
Fingers intertwined, it is February ____ weather
Hot and cold all at once
"Mira la luna amor!" I say
"Es como tú"
And then I watch my sunset on his cheeks begin to blossom
Our first sunset
We were in ____
Boba cups sweating in the June heat
I was yours before you said it
Summer turned into fall
Winter, to spring
We wiped the sweat and cherry syrup off our chins
We broke blocks of ice in the street
Here you sit next to me in our bed
And for the first time my writing is not saving my life
Love is
Love is not blind because I am not unable to see you
I am seeing clearer than when I put on my first pair of glasses
Both of us in the same country, state, city
Unknowingly so close yet strangers
I find my way back to you every time
When I am dreaming I am running
Searching for escape
Until I hear your voice
Drifting back to the surface
I cry in your arms
I get the feeling I've never been held before
When you wrap me in curtains
A shivering window safe inside
You crumbled my walls with a whisper
And opened my door with a smile
You are the mercy of grace
My messenger from above
Feathers and eyes
Light that burns hotter than the sun
Your love doesn't scare me
My sunset burns brighter than the first star to turn to dust
Hues of pink and orange like rust
Our polluted city looks beautiful
Close to our hearts on our sleeves
Our garden has grown since summer
I have found a way to make fertilizer out of hope
In this home, I am enough
In this love, I am not afraid
