You watched,

As I doused myself in your love.

The match in your fingertips unlit,

You watched.

I inhaled,

As your heart filled with care.

And I watch as the match falls,

I hold my breath.

Our eyes wide,

As the match hits the ground.

And nothing happens,

We exhale.

You hold me,

I am still doused in your love.

It is now on you,

And yet you still hold me.

Hold us…

…

I love you baby 🖤
