What lingers.

The complexion of your darker skin against mine, 
The fluttering of your eyes,
And me breaking your ribs because I fell in love with the sound of their crack.

Maybe I was waiting for the moment where I feel truly happy,  so that my words would be more genuine.  I am so happy.  Okay the daily hassles are still there. . The complications and a whole lot of stuff to deal with.. but I am really happy... for the first month or so of medical school I have contemplated the idea of dropping out ...
