Notes on love
Love is not the fever—it’s the quiet after, when the body remembers its own name in another’s mouth.
It is the dust motes caught in late sun, the way they don’t fall but simply hang, suspended in the amber of an ordinary Tuesday.
Love is the cracked mug I keep, not for its usefulness, but for the map of tiny fractures that catch the light just so—a constellation only my hand knows how to hold.
It is the scent of rain on concrete, the name of a street I’ll never find again, the single note that stays when the song ends.
Love: the spaces between heartbeats, where I finally learn to exhale.
