it's been eight months already
and i could still trace the scars
that danced up your arms as
your hands danced across
my body.
it's been eight months already
and although i hardly knew you
your every kiss breathed life back
into me.
it's been eight months already
and i still don't know what
i was looking for but i found it
in the rise and fall of
our bodies.
it's been eight months already
since you picked up my pieces
and melted them together with
the heat and the passion i saw
in you.
thank you, stranger, for saving me
from myself.
