hug in the ocean

i don’t know what to do with that light; the way he sees me. the way he opens and soaks in the sunshine of the people he loves. his softness pangs in my belly like a touch so tender it could tear me in two for all the times i thought love was something else. there is a loneliness inside of him not mine to fill but i want to crawl inside and hold him from the inside out. i want to tell him that being next to him feels like the air is giving me a hug. some people feel so easy to love. some people feel like the world is warm and everybody is here.
