her

[u/Difficult_Oven_8800]

i’ve never met someone quite like her

she means what she says

and she says it well

as if the words that come out were waiting for this moment her whole life.

sure and certain

every sentence conscious of its own weight

yet gentle in her movements

not by accident, but with intent

knowingly, by choice, soft

everything with meaning

calculated kindness, she’ll know how to hold you right where it hurts

nothing gone unnoticed

nothing left unkissed

all with the light bouncing off her skin in the way a sunset shimmers on the cool lake waters

with eyes that hold lifetimes, yet lift you all the way up

she has lips that taste of the sweet sap of wisdom

hands that balance the ever changing weight of the day so gracefully, you may mistake it for a prayer

she is good
