he lightly kissed my cheek,

"I have a cold", he said;

but he really wanted to grab me,
bring me home to see the new colors of his room
(so I wouldn't think him dull and tinged grey).

"I don't mind", I said;

but I really wanted to shove halls in my mouth,
bring his lips just far enough away,
and let him take me home.
