heal...

this is how we heal.
i will kiss you like forgiveness. you
will hold me like i'm hope. our arms
will bandage and we will press
promises 
between us like flowers in a book.
i will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. i will write novels to the
scar 
of your nose. i will write a dictionary
of all the words ii have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have
finally, finally found you.

and i will not be afraid
of your scars.
