5 days after the 3 month mark

Spring 2009

You were drunk
and a faucet of information
You said you missed me
You said you really liked me
and asked if i liked you
You asked me like you were really unsure
Like you needed to know with such urgency
You said I was the sweetest,
cutest girl you knew
And that's what made it
so very hard for you
not to fall in love with me
but then you grabbed your head
and shook it, like I were a dream
and you told yourself that you can't do that right now,
that you can't love me
and then you turned over and gazed into my eyes
and just smiled that smile,
The one I've grown to love looking at
from way down here in your arms
You kept saying,
"This is my favorite part:
This is what i truly miss when you are gone."
And you gathered me up like a blanket
and threw me over your body to keep you warm.
I kissed your face,
your lips and your nose,
and your forehead last.
I want you to know what I can't say
I think I can convince you with my lips,
with my eyes
and my own freckled face
Your entire body is so soft,
so fair, and aching for touch.
I can hear it when you walk
2 feet in front of me
I can see it when you dance
by yourself in a crowded club
I can feel it in your hands
when you touch me
I just can't stop kissing you
And if i tell you
that last night was amazing
that it didn't matter how tired
or exhausted we both were
To see you, to be near you
was enough to fill me
completely with light
Only thing is,
I wonder if you even remember
being so honest with me
rolling around in the sheets of your adoration
in the grips of such an amazing night
