slowly

your love is like honey

so rich and sweet

a slow drizzle

consistency

thick and potent

i yearn for the peace

that settles in while you’re with me

enough space between us to draw me near

enough protection and perception

to assuage my fears

and if i die from rejection

without a witness to my resurrection

then thirty pieces of silver was worth ignoring

that I walked in with open eyes and heart

knowing my fate from the start

and restart of this love affair

how will another compare

a greater you

whose shoes far too unfit

a love just like you

slowly, and unafraid to commit
