Nothing but the heat of embarrassment to keep me warm.

kissing someone you barely know
intimately connected
figuring each other out

pretend this all means something
a beautiful fleeting moment
quickly fading into memory

explore a trail on my arm
I dance my fingers in your hair
we stare into each other’s eyes
we look for each other’s souls
we discover the color

the sun tickles our feet
our joy seeps out in giggles
find safety in the temporary
as this moment uniquely exists

brush your lashes on my cheek
your smile pleasantly sits crooked on your face
ignore the day that’s pulling
I wrap your arms tighter around me

we float in warm silence
