I thought

I thought that love awaited me
tucked somewhere between your arms
and shoulders
where my head rested with warmth
I could trace the lines of your smile
forever
and still know mysteries hide beneath
it
but you cover me with insecurity
in a way no "love" has done
making me descend these steps of
romance
and leave behind my dream of the white picket fence...
