April 3rd
A date circled in red
day 1
you had me stumbling
arms reaching - grasping at air
fumbling over words
falling between lines
to a sweet surrender
like the smell of honeysuckle blooms
as spring fades to summer
you had me
at blue eyes
locked
into
mine
intertwined - searching for an escape route
running on empty
gasping for breath
you found me - saved me
now
150 miles of asphalt warmed by July sun
and
i can't quit you
i crave the taste of you
those moments in darkened hotel rooms
Bare legs tangled in white sheets
Moments where we were
anything but pure
i willed the world to stand still
praying for quiet
To wrap myself around you
Forever was already tattooed
On the landscape of my soul
i never want to let go
because i fear
i will never wash you from my skin
