Lover
I watched you from the corner of my eye
Hands with long fingers, ropes of veins down the arms
Tucked into a peacoat, buttoned, with eyes behind spectacles
I remember.
I remember sometimes with my lips on your skin and your hands in my hair and my legs around your waist
And my heartbeat goes so fast sometimes it feels like I'm going to
Going to
Run out of breath...
I watch you now, and the way you walk and how you talk about children
It makes me ache in the most appropriate of ways.
I listen, and wait...
Wait for the feel of your palms over the curves of my hips
The feel of your tongue running trails in between my lips
The way your eyelashes curl around the edge of your lids, while I toy with your glasses and am suprised I still feel
Because I wanted it simple
Something dirty and fast
But you're not a disposable boy
You're something that will last
Much like diamonds or gold, or the sediment that I run through my hands
My palms hold your heart, the way they write letters in this sand.
I'll put it in a box
Put it under my bed
Make sure its never hurt
Make sure you're never sad
Because you're part of me, like the clouds or the air
You are in every breath, every strand of my hair.
Every person I see has your memory imbued
Every raindrop and ocean, if it exists, it is you.
I watched you from the corner of my eye
Your hands leave trails in pink over my skin
I see your coat in the closet and I remember...
My hands ache for you
My lips whisper your name
I can't breath when you're away
Perhaps you feel the same
I watch your smile and your laugh, the way you've taken care of me
There are other lovers lurking, but the blind will never see.
I remember your laugh when we first met, and the way I told you to stay with me
All night
And that night has turned into this...
You're the words on my papers and the prints of my fingertips
Don't forget.
