I want to map out the night sky on your body.

I want to find the constellations in your freckles,
And trace the shadows on your skin with the pads of my fingers.

I want to learn the way you breathe through my hands,
Feel your diaphragm collapse and expand under my palms.

I want to kiss down the knobs of your spine,
Until I have all of the dips in your back memorized.

I want to learn the secret of how you laugh,
And catch it before it gets the chance to escape.

I want you and your imperfections,
And I want it forever.
It says that I need a description,
but I don't think I have one.

You have me awestruck.

This is a perfect description of how someone in love admires the looks and of the object of their affection...
Not as mere lust, but as an emotional attraction to the person's physical existence.

The curiosity, the image of beauty found in each little detail... Well, it's all here. And it's beautiful.

This is DEFINITELY going to my faves, and you are DEFINITELY on my watch list from now on.
