#A future that leans into me

She leans into me like gravity finally chose a direction—
straight into my arms.
Her head rests on my chest
as if my heartbeat is the song she’s been searching for,
and suddenly I’m afraid to breathe
because even the smallest movement
might break this impossible sweetness.

Her smile…
God, that smile.
It doesn’t just light up her face,
it invades me—
sliding under my ribs,
softening places I didn’t even know were hard.
It’s not cute.
It’s not sweet.
It’s devastating.
The kind of smile that ruins a man in the gentlest way.

And her lips…
there’s nothing innocent about them.
They’re temptation carved into softness,
a quiet fire,
a silent dare.
One look,
and I can already imagine how they’d feel—
warm, slow, asking for nothing
yet taking everything.

Her voice is worse—
or better—
depending on how much of myself I’m willing to lose.
It’s a velvet sound,
low enough to make me lean in,
soft enough to make me listen,
intimate enough to make me forget
every wall I’ve ever built.
When she whispers,
it feels like she’s tracing her fingertips
over the inside of my soul.

She presses closer,
her body molding into mine
in that perfect, terrifying way
where two people stop being “two”
for a few stolen seconds.
My hand finds her waist,
slowly, instinctively,
like my body has always known the path
even when my mind didn’t.

And then—
she sighs.
Just a small, quiet sigh
that hits me harder than any confession ever could.
A surrender,
a trust,
a moment that says:
“I feel safe here… with you.”

I hold her tighter.
Not possessively—
but like she’s something rare,
something sacred,
something my arms were made to protect.
Her hair brushes my jaw,
and for a second,
I swear the universe stops moving
just so we can exist like this—
wrapped around each other,
hearts knocking softly,
breaths mixing like a promise.

#

And here’s the truth I carry like a secret flame:

She isn’t here.
Not yet.
This moment isn’t memory—
it’s prophecy.
A scene waiting somewhere in my future,
walking toward me on its own slow, patient feet.

One day I’ll meet her—
the girl with the dangerous smile,
the soft voice,
the fire-kissed lips,
the heart that leans into mine without fear.
One day this fantasy
will step out of my imagination
and sit against my chest for real.

Until then,
I keep her alive in poems,
in daydreams,
in quiet midnight wishes—
building the moments
I know I’ll one day live.

This is so beautifull

#

I feel like this is an anthem for us traumatized baddies

#

who just want love

#

and can only hope

#

and believe in it

#

if you know what I mean

this is an extremely beautiful piece for sure. the wording lures you in with its simplicity and theres pacing imagery. i feel as though there are certain phrases that could have been put together differently for the impact you wanted them to have? but i also get how this is going for something mundane but still explicitly complex? definitely could use some work but a good one nonetheless! also feels more like a prose rather than poetry to me?
