I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

It's Amazing *After Nikki Giovanni: I Remember

It's amazing how I managed to learn how you breathe, 

how I've memorized your chest's rise and fall rhythm as a dancing version of tug of war. 


It's amazing how I've come to find out my body's combination of reactions to the phenomena that is to your own. 


How when you simply walk into the room, whatever stress I was being trampled under walks out;


How when you call my name I quickly forget how it sounds when anyone else says it. 


When you say good morning/ goodnight it's the sound of a book closing/opening it's me being eager to pick up another one, 

flip through it knowing that I'll be doing it with you. 


How I hate/hated when other people looked me directly in my eyes cause I never knew/was never prepared for what they might/might've seen, till you learned how to do it/intercept everything that is never put to words and learned how to convey this to me without making me want to run, and allowing me to run towards you.

It's rather amazing.
