I held my heart on the tip of my thumb
And then I held my breath
As I hit send and my heart went careening across the keys into your phone
Do your eyes light up from the screen, the way my heart does when you call me?
I hope you know how to swim
Because I could of drowned you in words even though I cannot find them on the tip of my tongue
They catch in my throat and pour out my fingers like a glass knocked over on a table
My feet stop in their tracks as another memory pinballs through my head
It ricochets like a hundred bats flying in a cave
Damn I miss you.
I could pour myself out to you like a pitcher
But I swallow my thoughts and they leave a bad taste in my mouth
I miss the taste of your kisses, so sweet and gentle, though a bit salty
Salty like the ocean and every bit as wet and wild as the water
'You are a fool' I tell myself
To stay awake dreaming when you could be sleeping instead
