will love last?

5:37am

on thursday morning

wrapping my fingers around yours

folding our hands together

like

delicate origami

connecting those loose wires

dancing into the crashing waves

under the cool moonlight

pressing our bodies into each other

feeling the thump of your heart

and your scent

of fresh fruit

and lemon

filling my nose

did i tell you how happy it made me feel?

i loved the feeling of always wanting to see your face

as i loved calling your name joyfully whenever i saw you

and seeing the smile spread across your face

damn did it make me feel wanted

the salty water continued to splash up against our thighs

as we waltzed deeper in

toppling over into incoming waves

laughing and spitting out water

i remember your face so well

as we sat there

laughing

and crying

slowly leaning in

as you pulled my body closer

until our lips

pressed against one another

with the sun slowly rising on the horizon

enveloped by the darkness of the ocean

like the world had stopped

and what was left of us

was the shoes left in the car

and the surrounding sounds of sirens and cries
