Here’s how you love her
You don’t go to a bottle of wine
Just to get to the bottom
It will go to your head
-///
Slow down
Take your time
Really be there
Really look at her
See her
Feel her
Her kiss
Her laugh
Her smile
She needs a safe space
A trusted place
To be herself in
Don’t edit her
Don’t judge her
And when she lets you in her bed
Be there
Really be there
With her
There’s no rush to this
It’s not a race
There will be nights
Like shots
Of liquor
And those have their place
But there are also nights
Filled with passions and thunderstorms
Where you outlast the rain
There is no rush
Slow it down
Slower than slow
Slower than what you think slow is
Slow
Until you memorize her breathing and her heart beating…
Her body rising
And settling
The way the light touches her
And you realize
It’s morning
Love her like this
And you won’t be able
To be anywhere else
But with her
