Inconvenient Feelings


I'm not one to unleash the muddy riptides of my heart onto those closest to me, only to have them drown in the flood. So let me just allow this circling notion to alight here so that I'm no longer tempted to confide in a friend: I just want to lay in bed with him all day and inhale the smell of his skin like oxygen. 


But instead I'll sit here watching the dust settle, waiting for the next time I'm able to hear him mutter words from dreams in his sleep and feel him wrap his arms around me in the middle of the night to inoculate me against the cold, like a palm encircling a dying flame.
