I wish I could hold
your hand in my smaller one
and enjoy day's end.

...

Everytime we touched,
I felt a spark.
Eventually it grew to a flame
That destroyed me slowly.

can we run away to an island just for us two

we could watch the ocean underneath the moon

wanting nothing else but to wake up next to you

looking at each other the way lovers do

bathing naked in the lagoons

surviving on fish and sweet fruit

stranded by choice like romantic fools

thinking no one could feel what we do

I'm not the prettiest girl in the room.
But you better believe
I'm the most
clever,
confident,
comfortable,
compassionate person you'll talk to all evening.
