Give to you as you give to him

Even as you tell me that you miss him and it makes you sad, even as we talk about him like he's the most important thing in your life, I just want to lay beside you and pull you into me. I want to hold you close and breathe in the scent of you. I want to feel your back rise and fall against my chest. I want to press my feet against your feet as you cricket. I want to put my arm over you and pull you close until there is no space left between us, and I just want to stay there.

You can keep talking about him, and your feelings, and how much you miss him, just let me hold you while you do. Let me pour my love into you as you give your thoughts and energy to someone else.
