I am

sinisterVT's picture

You are.
Songs in the early morning just before daybreak
A midnight phone call just to hear your answering machine
Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?
I am always there.

Your lips
Are a bucket of freezing water pored over my head when I need it most
My escape from my world and into ours.
Words I cannot say, I kiss you with.

I am
In love.

Your voice
Soothing
Running though my head like a vinyl record always playing the same song and never skipping a beat.
Sends me somewhere else.

Your words
Keep me connected in ways memory cant
A reminder of how we feel when we are close.
A quick read before school.

My mind
Is wanting
My head is humming
My hands are reaching

And the sun is still shining.

I think that this is a really cute piece. I love it. Its adorable how sensitive that you allowed yourself to be, and how you allowed the rest of us to see it as well.
