6/30--the first time
do you remember the first time?
how the sunlight dappled my face
how you could see the words burning
the tip of my tongue
rapture
how else do you explain it?
maybe you thought it odd that the look
in my eyes was of the far away variety
not locked onto yours like they had when
you imagined the moment
so many times before.
remember how delicious each word
I…
tasted
love…
how they perfumed the air
how you almost heard that last syllable before
I said it
…cheese.
how confused you were.
how you tried not to let on
how let down you were, how my face still
clung to infatuation
you thought was for you.
how you agreed with me
because, let’s be real,
cheese is delicious.
