#16 (have been writing up a storm, due to cw classes. yay)

L.

like snow falling at night
when you're all at home
and everyone's safe.

like a new kitten
not old enough to scratch
purring and kneading your belly.

like holding hands
for the very first time
too happy to anticipate a kiss.

like a handful of balloons
rising, almost bringing your
sixyearoldself along.

like wine, dinner dessert
with good friends, good jokes,
constant fondness.

like breaking your own heart
to let them go,
because they need happiness, too.p
