Though my lips did not move,
              you heard every single word.

His eyes reminded me of what the grand canyon might look like,
                    they whispered warmth like the sun
                    snuggling the earth.

And as you so lightly traced my skin,
All I felt was your longing for the flame that once so relentlessly licked your fingers.
That passion that had ignited your lust,
was now smokey embers of a dying fire too damp to ever be relit.

Please do not stray too far

    Because my heart is leaning against your soul

But I've never been one to sit still…

No
One word
One noise
One thought
One choice

It's simple-
So they say.
Don't agree
Not today

One N
One O
Should I stay
Or should I go?

And I still love him.
After all this time.
My heart still longs for him the way the ocean yearns for the shore.

Relentlessly, hopelessly, pitifully.

No matter how many times the ocean draws away,
it always finds itself crashing back into the arms of the cold, unstable shore.
