true

I know it's real
when I can lay on your belly and feel like one of your body parts.
when you hug me and your arms act as the strongest steel.
Nothing can hurt me.
I know it's real
when we can laugh at my deepest secrets,
when I miss you after only an hour,
when I could listen to your unsteady heart beat all day long.
I know it's real
when one hundred men could flirt with me
and all I'd rather do is hear your voice.
when you look at me and I feel like the most desirable thing on the earth.
when I look at you and see forever and ever.
I just know
when I can talk all day
with some knowledge and wit
and the moment love comes out of your mouth
I shut up
and can only grin and grin and grin and rub your hand.
It's absolutely real.

I've never been so sure.
