.

you
who sung the lyrics i forgot

who reached the notes i couldn't
an infinite playlist of you and me
your voice that soothed the aching of my soul
that if my soul were a wall it would have holes
and if your voice were water it would
rush into the cracks and flood it's corners
like waves, caressing the sand
hush now.
away, and back again

your touch
that coaxed the desires of my body
as my fingers grasp at your back and my lips find your neck
your handprints on my body, an endless trail
i get lost in your wonderland
as water falls in the background sound
causing a looped melody of serenity
i am a vase, unfinished
you mould me with your careful fingers,
your sighs escape your shaking lips 
we climb
higher

your gaze that made me feel like a million suns.

your smoke that drifted through me
through my hair and through my lungs
your smoke that drifted in me
as your presence magnified
i breathed you in
you flick your cigarette
you live in me

your shirt that carried your scent
where i found comfort
in it's sleeves and in it's threads
your love bound together intricately into 
a shell i could shrink in and
hide away forever

your bed
which held you from cold and from fear
gave me a warmth i could succumb to in seconds
it was as if i woke up from a nightmare
hips trembling and eyes blinking
and i remembered the warmth at my feet
the one of your blanket.
a warmth so familiar, a smell of morning,
of daylight, of skin and of sleep.
sheets of milk and butter
i slip away and find you in another world
a better world

your hands that moved across the
inches of all of my skin,
every wrinkle a lingering finger
every bump a little more touch.
every pore and every cell you loved
as the beads of your sweat fell on my eyelids

your lips that listened to the sound of my thoughts
that drank in my journeys of the world
and the people i have met
your lips that poured over maps and stories 
over letters joined together to form a beautiful structure of words
your lips, i could meet forever

a kiss hello and a kiss goodnight.
