Swinging underneath that lit tent,
your hands tapping around my waist
and mine gripping your shoulders,
our bodies can't get close enough.
I sink into your skin,
warm and sweaty--
your feet were busy during that last song,
laughing eye-level with the children.
But I get you during this beat--
that slow tempo guides our turns,
my lips touch your collar,
my nose senses home.
Our chests collide,
our lips collide,
and our hearts
continue to dance.
My forehead rests on yours,
I motion back to get a good look
at those eyes,
that mouth singing along.
I sing along with you,
and in that moment,
smiling at us swaying,
I never want the song to fade.
If only I knew--
I would have put that song on repeat
so we could be happy forever,
weaved together forever.
This is awesome, K. I'm so honored to read what you have been writing. Thank you for sharing.
