on magnetism by Julia Jessen

hi! i'm julia, they/them, and my personal instagram is @julia.jessen. when i write i don't use a lot of structure, i tend to just focus on what inspires me at the moment or words that i can't get out of my head. my main inspiration is my girlfriend!! i love her a lot and she's very very wonderful to write about, and she influences greatly.

on magnetism

i'm obsessed with touching you.
feeling you near me, feeling you close,
my skin on your skin on my skin -
we kiss;
my lips on yours and
my hand in your hair and
your hand on my cheek and
my back and
my legs wrapped tight around your waist.
pulling me in, drawing me
closer
closer
closer -
melting into you.
in physics we learned that gravity increases the closer you are to someone but no scientific law could
describe the way how when you wrap your arms around me,
I feel like I could crawl into you and sit in your heart.
and settle,
and breathe,
and fall asleep with you.
