6.29.23 // The Sweet Surprise of You

I wish I could show you the way I feel inside.
.
The sweet surprise of you bubbles on my tongue like a crisp sip of a freshly poured saison on a warm summer evening.
.
The tang of hops and grain dances around my mouth with sweet synchronization and the promise of impending intoxication.
.
You leave me feeling light like my body is hovering just a foot off the ground and any doubt is nowhere to be found.
.
You leave me feeling warm, but it's not just from the sultry breeze but from something stirring deep inside of me.
.
You leave me surprised that I've lived this long without the taste of you on my tongue.
.
The sweet surprise of you was nothing I thought I knew, and now I can't imagine not always having you.
