A Position Paper

I love all the natural ways we position ourselves when we're together.
I love when we're on the couch, your back against my chest, and I feel your hair against my face. Sometimes I kiss the nape of your neck.
I love when we first go to bed and you snuggle down, your face below my chin, my arms around your neck. I also love when you turn around and I snuggle from behind, my hand cupping your breast.
I love when we sip coffee on opposite ends of the couch and our bare feet touch.
I love when you swim to me in the night, and I wake just enough to know before drifting off again.
I love moving through the apartment with you, our bodies brushing against each other. I love when we stop for a quick kiss in the corridor.
I love sharing the bathroom with you, the dance we do as we both groom ourselves. I love when we shower each other, and I love washing your back.
I love entangling, my knee and calf between yours. I love looking deep into your eyes with our noses touching.
The only thing I love about you leaving is when you lean back against your car door and I lean in for a last kiss.
I love this sketch of us in Duck, one year ago. Our bodies are already leaning in and filling the space with the greatest of ease.

I have very strong views about you and
I often feel the need to take a position.
