Vague Embrace
She had her arms around my shoulder,
half-drunk, giggling, like the world wasn’t burning over.
She made me have hope and remember that love is possible,
even if now I see only a glimpse of it;
she makes my heart flood with joy
when she dances and laughs,
her sound drowning out all the pain I feel inside—
and when I am with her I feel nothing but lust
for living; for life,
for the wondrous times where I get to spend a day by her side,
creating memories of one and a kind.
Tell me it’s real, the chemistry of us;
or let me keep floating down this magical river,
pursuing tangerine thoughts
of what we could be.
