Snow Globe Kinda’ Story

01/31/2021

Once upon a time I thought I could take it slow.

I thought I could play casual.

Kiss you and keep cool.

But that look in your eye pulls the rug out from under my feet.

Knocks the air out of my lungs.

What I feel about you is so deeply intimate, personal, and precious. Almost like the inside of a snow globe—perfectly protected and preserved.

Except I don’t want anyone else to be able to turn this globe upside down, even if the snow and sparkle will eventually settle.

I don’t want opinions or other people contaminating any step to how this is all unfolding.

Although I voice it as a concern, I’m not sure how much worry I actually house to back that feeling. In fact, I’m not sure I’m worried at all. All of the power is in our hands and I’ve never known two people I trust more than us.

So, sweet sir, I hope I get to stay here in this snow globe with you. I have a feeling we’ll never let it break.
