ethereal

29.

grown so accustomed

to hard love

that gentleness

brought her to tears

its sweetness in the silence,

its authenticity,

its politeness and patience.

it was so new

and it was utterly beautiful;

what an indescribably

euphoric finding.

her outlook on love

would never go back

from here

ever again.

how she so wanted

to keep

this love

clutched in her palms;

to feel it

when she needed it

and embrace others

with the touch of it.

hard love

never felt

like this.
