will love last?
5:37am
on thursday morning
wrapping my fingers around yours
folding our hands together
like
delicate origami
connecting those loose wires
dancing into the crashing waves
under the cool moonlight
pressing our bodies into each other
feeling the thump of your heart
and your scent
of fresh fruit
and lemon
filling my nose
did i tell you how happy it made me feel?
i loved the feeling of always wanting to see your face
as i loved calling your name joyfully whenever i saw you
and seeing the smile spread across your face
damn did it make me feel wanted
the salty water continued to splash up against our thighs
as we waltzed deeper in
toppling over into incoming waves
laughing and spitting out water
i remember your face so well
as we sat there
laughing
and crying
slowly leaning in
as you pulled my body closer
until our lips
pressed against one another
with the sun slowly rising on the horizon
enveloped by the darkness of the ocean
like the world had stopped
and what was left of us
was the shoes left in the car
and the surrounding sounds of sirens and cries
