A look of love can say more than words ever will. In the semi-darkness of a Pearson dorm lit by LED lights I lay with you, someone I've known for a year & wish to know for a lifetime. The possibility of a life together beyond Pearson is exciting & terrifying all at the same time. We could go to universities that are across the city frome each other or across the Atlantic Ocean. I'd rather not think about such things just yet — so I focus on the rate of your heartbeat, the smell of your shampoo & the feeling of our intertwined limbs. We talk about everything & we talk about nothing, the giggling & laughter as comfortable as the silence. I feel safe in your arms, beautiful in your embrace & calm in your presence. You have this way of smoothing out the stress & anxiety that comes with studying. How do you always look so non-plussed? The way you hold me feels like you'd prefer nothing else than to stay like this for days on end. Your smile is like the first rays of sun after the rain — knowing that I can make you smile & laugh makes my day. Although I cannot express the love I feel for you sufficiently in actions or words, I hope you feel it when I rest my head against yours & look into your eyes.
