Fuck, I’m in Love

I liked the way you said my name

It was like molasses rolling off of your tongue

For the first time, I felt like I was here

Like I was present on this Earth

I had to be real if you knew I existed

To be recognized by you was validation

That I was alive

That I could feel

When I couldn’t for the longest time

My name from your lips

Was the most beautiful noise I’ve ever heard
