Your Laugh

I daydream about your laugh.

The way you squint your eyes until you would think they’re entirely closed. How your mouth opens so wide you’d think you could suck all the oxygen in the planet. When you throw your head back as if a strong wind made you do that. When you crouch down low, grasping your knees looking way out of breath as if you just finished running a marathon.

How from afar you think your laugh would be as loud as thunder but really all you could hear was the wheeze of air running through your throat. How tears would slide down your cheek to your neck while you hold on, catching your breath.

And when we finally get our strength back you put your arm around my shoulder, pull me close, kiss my forehead and hug me tight. These moments go beyond what words can make me feel. Moments I will always remember.

Only you can make me feel this way.
