A hint of strawberry on your skin
the sent soaked into its softness
my body is forever willing
but my heart has grown cautious

But I find myself falling again
It’s growing hard to resist
or noses circle one another
until our lips defiantly kissed

I had came as no surprise
for our lips built electricity
and grew attracted to each other
they came together by gravity

my blood rushes like flood gates open
smiles spread like wings on a dove
and before I know of what’s occurred
I find myself falling in love

The dreams are never what I need them to be
these eyes aren’t seeing what I need them to see
something reminiscent of the summer sunlight
when my heart was alive, in love, and beaming bright

but now the winter decay has set in my soul
a once blazing fire has been reduced to coal
so here I lay, wondering aloud to the ceiling,
“Will I always be entrapped inside this feeling?”

I stay awake watching the clock count away
slowly winding down until the hour, the day
when the sun settles into warmer skies
I’ll breathe it in with these weary eyes

Winter is full swing
but when I close my eyes
I see her and I in the grass
staring up at blue skies

“You look so peaceful.”
She gently giggles at me
“I just feel right, you know?
Like this is where I was meant to be.”

She turns and she pins me
quick as a whip
I wrap around her
and we flip and we flip

we come to rest
covered in loose grass
I smile at her
she smiles and then laughs

we stare for a moment
and she gives me a kiss
she pulls away slowly
while biting her lips

let the winter wash away
that horrible cold thing
so I can be reunited with you
two lovers in the spring

I stay up the whole night long
hoping she might call to say
that she’s been dreaming of us
and wouldn’t have it any other way

she’d tell me that she’d loved me
for more months then she can count
and all that loving for so many months
has built to quite an obscene amount

I’ll tell that I feel the exact same
and I have as long as I can recall
if only she would have seen
the love note I used to scrawl

I stay up the whole night long
hoping to hear her rap at my door
I’d open it to her saying, frantically
that she can’t take the tension  any more

she’d shoot her arms around me
holding onto me ever so tight
and give me the biggest of kisses
that would continue all of the night

we’d maneuver to the bed room
through the blinds the sun beams
I’d take her hand as we rest our heads
and I’d fall asleep with the girl of my dreams

The memory of your skin
almost close enough to touch
making my hair stand on end
when the tension was too much

I moved a micron closer
hoping you might do the same
I just want to get closer
not quite sure of my aim

I just I hate the distance now
if it’s millimeters or miles
how I hate living on day to day
in the absence of your smiles

that perk up at the moments
when I need them the most
and make my smile peak its head
and then stretch coast to coast

but now you’re too far gone
for me to have anything more
than a box full of memories
and a forever open door

I keep thinking about a girl
I only see when I dream
with eyes like electricity
and thighs colored cream

her thin hands are soft
and tend to catch mine
butterflies flutter so hard
they send shivers to my spine

her lips pressed against mine
and entire world is gone
speaking from the dead of night
until we see the break of dawn

In the dreams I see our future
a lovely life and a loving home
I wake with a start, I’m alone
I wake with a start, I’m alone
