There are words his hands say that his lips never need to.
The language they speak is quieter β slower β
something I feel before I understand.
His touch tells stories:
of patience,
of reverence,
of knowing me well enough not to rush.
Itβs not about possession,
but connection β
a conversation without sound.
When he traces the back of my neck,
or lets his fingers linger at my wrist,
I can hear him saying, youβre safe here.
Every touch a promise,
every pause a question asked in devotion.
Itβs strange how love can sound like skin meeting skin β
how the body can become fluent
in the language of being wanted gently.
π― His hands have learned what words never could β
that love speaks loudest in silence.
