you
touch
me.
Skin on skin, you’re my perfection.

Thank you
I’m finding it hard to write poems about my boyfriend; I usually only write about negative things! I’m getting there, slowly. He’s worth immortalising in words.

Glad I could make you smile
His mother died a few years ago, from cancer. I think in a way, I’m taking over a slight motherly role for him, without even realising. I’m unconsciously looking after him.

Thank you, I like the last line. It was supposed to be a much longer poem, but it felt right to end there. It’s all which needed saying, really.
