Your words.

"You're amazing babe."
"I love you."
"Wow."
"No, YOU're the sexy one."
"Are you really gonna starve me?"
"PLEASEEEE, babe?"


amidst the ohhhs and ahhhs
in between the groans,
i hear your words
and i save them,
creating a reservoir of confidence-replenishing words
inside my mind
for the days when you're running low.
if ever such days should come.
