Forever & Forever

I want to feel you curled up inside me,
Perched on my tongue,
Your soul pressed against mine.
Squeezing the air from my lungs,
You took my breath away.
My hands trembled when you first held them,
Baby and broken like a newborn bird
And as delicate and fragile
As butterfly wings
But as we melted together
(hot wax and candle flame)
It seemed perfect
Like we were creating a painting
Or writing poetry
Or simply
Existing
In the purest sense of the word.
Existing together with our
Skin pressed together and our
Hearts leaning up against out chests
I wanted to map out the contours of your skin,
Explore the depths of your eyes,
Drown in your words.
Those
Sweet
Sweet
Words.
They were so precious.
Most of all
I wanted to pin you down
Capture you on film
Write you into paper
Trap you in the web of my fingers
Hold onto you
Forever
&
Forever.
