they're healing;
tentatively smiling in cafes
across the table,
hands intertwined
squinting eyes in the sunlight
short bursts of laughter
filling spaces too long empty.
they're learning;
stressing over homework
losing pencils,
skipping class to kiss under the pine tree
cheeky mistletoe on Christmas
scheduling appointments
moving closer on the sofa.
they're feeling;
getting comfortable with those words
being sensual,
in a way they couldn't before
like the hot and passionate color of
autumn leaves
dirty jokes passed through fingertips.
they're loving again.
