here now

first kiss

real deal

stealing glances

across blankets of

laughter

telling stories

making memories

about things that we feel

I don’t know

what you did to me

but boy am I ok with it

go with it

I won’t laugh at your tears

or your fears

just talk to me

I hear

what you’re saying

while also trying

to remember every detail

of the veins in your hands

and the smell of your hair

the color of your eyes,

exactly,

escapes me

takes me somewhere

to a place I can’t remember

the name of

 

It’s a warm cup of tea

It’s huddled close

In crisp air

It’s the space between

‘I want you’ and

‘I can’t walk away’

 

I don’t know what it means

but man

I like it
