in the gentle tangerine light of dawn
we entombed each other
in a mess of unmade bedsheets
and sweat soaked kisses,
foolishly sending
our wishes up to the stars.

let me drink you in
i will gasp for air
just to consume you.

you set me on fire
you touch me
and i know,
that there is no heaven
better than this.

one look from you
and my body
softens and bends
in response.
i see nothing else,
and i know
i couldn't fight it
even if i wanted to
- you are my gravity.

i have realised
why it still hurts so much;
i have too many words
inside my head,
to describe the way my heart
burst from my chest
the moment we met.
too many memories
of your fingertips
tracing the curve of my hips,
keeping me up at night.

i had a paper heart,
you played with matches.

you might not
have been my first love
but you were the one
who hurt the most.
