It may look like I'm silent
But don't let it fool you
I'm holding back the will
To say that I love you

trace the familiar contours of my body with your fingertips once more
place your hand on my thigh and tell me you miss me
rest your lips on mine and whisper "i love you" under your breath
because when i wake up,
you won't remember
but i will never forget

Can't believe my eyes,
you were there and you took me by surprise.
We were laughing and making jokes
and then you told me you had to leave by tomorrow.

I tried to tell you everything that's happened in my life.
It was bittersweet and nostalgic, and I could only blame bad luck,
that right after I said -
"I want to tell you everything but there's not enough time,"
I woke up.

Does your mouth still taste me?
My *** all up in your soul taking moments from your typical day.
Planting you in a memory that tingles.

Overwhelming you and leaving you full of desire all mine.
Desire only I can remove.
Only our touch fulfills the need.

Does your body remember the way I feel and respond?
Your mouth tastes me as memories fill all your senses.

You smile and allow a moan to escape you from deep inside.
Do you shake it off or let it take you back?
Wrapping you up in us.
Feeling all that we were.

Do you remember?
Can you still feel me?

Show me still water
And a flat stone
Worn and beached
From beyond oral history.

Show me and wonder
At one two three
Four five six seven
Bouncing flights.

I want to dive deep,
Retrieve
That champion flatstone

Carry it home in sandy pocket

Keep it with found marbles

For life
