dusty

we will dip our legs into the water

just for a second

just to know what it feels like

as we adjust to the cold water

we won’t talk, it’ll be silent

and your leg will brush against mine

we will linger in this moment

fight against the passing of time

maybe we’re each taking a mental picture

to keep forever

as our legs dry in the summer heat

we won’t talk, it’ll be silent

or at least i no longer remember

the passion of lips touching

of bodies meeting

i hate to say that i’m jaded

but the idea of looking into someone’s eyes

and feeling nothing but calm

just sounds so novel and impossible

it’s not that i don’t believe in love

trust me, if i could, i would fall in love so hard

but why should i risk it all

will wither and fall like leaves in autumn

you will struggle through winter

you will shiver and you will think of death

but spring will come

spring will come and you will bloom

this time, you are blooming just for you

no man will have to call you beautiful

because you already know

when the summer skies are bluer than ever

you will bask in every ray
