Love

I listen to rain from an open window and feel the coolness of early fall. You are sitting on a couch opposite me. The space between us is memory– children playing on floors, tears, animals, decisions, fear, age. It has grown dense with time together, so that now when I hold out a hand, it feels heavy with the weight that is all I want to hold.
