The Garden

It was the way he opened himself to me, like a flower welcoming the sunlight. I could have sat forever beneath the palm trees, listening to him talk for hours. About his life, the sights he’s seen, or about the universe. The subject didn’t really matter.

It was about the feeling he gave me, the way he made my home a sanctuary for butterflies, and the way my blood instantly boiled at his gentle touch.

And when he kissed me in that garden, I knew this love was one for the ages.
