We exchanged words over coffee that day.
Do you remember?
I couldn’t tell you what was said
I was distracted
by the way your eyes reflected the steam that poured from our cups
I do remember watching your lips
soft and pink
wanting to bury myself in them
Did you notice?
I remember my heart racing in my chest
Beating against my ribs
Trying desperately to get out and find its home inside of you
I thought for sure you heard...
But time has past
like the turning of the tide
and I am here
tracing lonely footprints in the sand...
