Today you came two days early, a surprise.
I wept in my ribs, my hands shook.
We stood in the archway next to the front door of your Airbnb in awe,
it got darker and you took me to bed.
I tasted you for the first time,
I felt your heartbeat in my hand.
I loved you before you opened the door,
but as the apartment’s white portal opened and out of breath,
I loved you even more.
