so, it is known that your skin regenerates every 27 days.


after 27 days, your touch is no longer on my skin.
after 27 days, my skin does not know your kisses
or his.
after 27 days, my hands have not met yours.
after 27 days, my thighs have not felt your fingertips.
after 27 days, my neck doesn't know the tingle of your lips
sometimes tongue.
                                       -for my new lover

It's been 426 days since October 15, 2017.
my skin has regenerated almost 16 times.
yet i still feel you
your hands
on my waist
places
everywhere.
my skin has not known your touch
my skin has not known your love
my skin has not known you
so why do i punish my skin
that hasn't even known you?
