Hold

I want to hold this burst of lovesafe in my drawer, locked away with a keythe combination only known to me.I want to save your sweet wordssafe in my heart to unfurl in my sleeplike a blanket of body heat.I want to bask in the afterglow of blissroll up the ecstasy of this as if winter’s chillcan do no harm, as if you’ll always keep me warmheld safe in your dark heart.
