when I close my eyes
it isn't hard to recall
exactly the shade
exactly the feel
exactly the taste
of skin
the color of his eyes
I could get lost in
how soft his hair
my fingers ran through
how soft his tongue
and red the hue
of my face
and parts of my body
he knew
the ways to make me breathe
heavily
our eyelids fell with sleeping
together
we were more than two
we were
one
more pair of lovers
holding tightly
the world
our hearts
each other
