The way I remembered you

“I closed my
eyes
softly and fell
in love with the
way I
remembered you:
body, soul,
and all.”

Even lovers drown

“A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him up for her own
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.”

Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic

“He had the effect on her of a window being thrown open and fresh air and sunlight being let in.”

Love is nothing, love is everything, it's never in between
