5.15.22 falling asleep again and again and again your arms wrapped around me in different configurations as the window ac unit gently rattles, the first sleep with ac on through the night, light breaking through the thick layer of cloud cover, you offering me an eye mask, 4 more hours of comfortable on and off sleep until we reluctantly wake at noon to start our day together

4.12.22 when i am sick you look at me with such concern it scares me because i can't believe you care that much about me and i care that much about you and i think about the consequences of caring so much and it scares me but then you take a warm towel and gently place it on my forehead and i think only about how glad i am that you are here and that it's you because it had to have been you
