Like steaming tea on a cold winter morning

Summary:

Thomas knows that he doesn't have to write letters to Richard anymore.

But sometimes, this is the only way of showing this incredibly gentle and loving man how much Thomas loves him.

Notes:

I have realized that I never posted this poem on Ao3, so here I am. I just like writing poems in Thomas' perspective because I can totally see him putting his emotions and thoughts into prose rather than talking about them. (Because we all know he tends to be reserved when it comes to his own feelings and emotions).

So here I am, trying to put some feelings and emotions from Thomas towards Richard into writing.

I wrote this poem a while ago but put some more sections in it before posting it. I hope it will make someone smile today.

I hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday💙💙

Work Text:

I remember meeting you for the first time.
Your sweet smile caught me off guard.
I never thought that one day you would be mine.
But now we’re laying here, your head resting on my heart.

Touching my lips in the dark night.
The only audience being the stars.
Your affectionate smile felt so right.
Your loving gaze healed my scars.

You remind me of the moon.
Casting light into the darkness.
But vanishing into the clouds too soon.
Leaving a feeling of unknown numbness.

I never thought to have someone like you.
Someone to love, a special friend.
Someone who would stand by me until the end.
I love you, I certainly do.

Your letters feel so sweet, your words so warm.
Sparkling a feeling of unknown bliss.
Your words are loving, so full of charm.
Giving me the feeling of an unbroken kiss.

With you, I feel like I can be bold.
Taking your hand under the dark sky.
You will embrace me in a gentle hold.
Saying I ever felt more safe would be a lie.

Your laugh is soft just like your lips.
The way your eyes light up, looking at me.
I trace your cheeks with my fingertips.
With you, I can finally be.

Dancing in the empty servants hall, your body in my arm.
Your lips on mine, so safe and sweet.
Your hold shields me of all harm.
Your touch makes me waver on my feet.

Tracing the pendant makes me smile.
Its so precious just like you.
Oh moment, linger on for a while.
You make my world complete, it's true.

Moving into the cottage int the wood.
A sanctuary, a place to call mine.
Before you, I never thought to be something good.
But with you in my arms I can finally shine.
