goblin boy

March 12, 2022
you don't love me like the others, 
and i don't mean that in the way that they usually do.
i can tell by the way you comb through my hair with your fingers 
or the way you hold me when you're sleeping 
i can see it in your eyes when you make me laugh. 
i can feel it in every hug.
every kiss.
 
just a touch of your lips and i'm sent far from here. 
our fingers brush and i'm reaching for you. 
i know what you're thinking, and i know you know my mind too.
 
i don't love you like any other. 
i didn't know that love could feel so true. 
you make me feel like i'm free to do and be. 
it feels so good, you and me.
