you said your favorite thing
about us
was all that we had weathered together
you said that there was nothing
on this earth that could change
what we had
[our logic - manipulated by
our lovesick stomachs - was
all we had
to guide us]

it can be our inhales or exhales
that say what is
off-limits
so maybe we'll have to
hold our breath
from now on

i remember
your lips making that
angel-smirk, the one that could kill;
that smile to my cheek
and my arm draped
over your shoulder
resting, or maybe just
waiting:
this beautiful composition
of us
cheek to cheek
and
eye to eye
grew silent
for a greater good

you said i was something
special to you
you said that there was nothing
on this earth that could change
what we had
[our logic - manipulated by
our lovesick stomachs - was
all we had
to guide us]

Author's Note: i'm feeling pretty unsure about this one...
