what do you think she looks like sitting out on the edge of a dock as the sun is just beginning to creep down below the trees on the other side of the shore? light washes just the right side her face as she looks up from dangling her toes in the water seeing her through the fire pit you're warming yourself by it crackles and grows, the flames in front of you dance around her messy hair in the distance the loons coo & the waves slosh against the beach her feet rise above the water & she begins to float towards you above the tide until she’s above the fire the tallest embers flicker at her feet she leans down and slowly runs her hand down your cheek “i wished you loved yourself when you met me” I think she feels like when the sun has gone down and the fire is minutes from dying and me alone

not one, not two
what do you think she looks like sitting out on the edge of a dock as the sun is just beginning to creep down below the trees on the other side of the shore? light washes just the right side her face as she looks up from dangling her toes in the water seeing her through the fire pit you're warming yourself by it crackles and grows, the flames in front of you dance around her messy hair in the distance the loons coo & the waves slosh against the beach her feet rise above the water & she begins to float towards you above the tide until she’s above the fire the tallest embers flicker at her feet she leans down and slowly runs her hand down your cheek “i wished you loved yourself when you met me” I think she feels like when the sun has gone down and the fire is minutes from dying and me alone
