a pebble in your hands

You graze my neck with the tip of your finger You kiss me strong and you let it linger I looked into your eyes to see if I could see the way that you see me All I could see was a timid smile of a girl who doesn't know her own beauty I thought if I looked hard enough I would know what you were thinking I looked away to avoid the feeling of sinking I tried to connect the dots of the freckles on your shoulder It was no use I could feel myself falling into you like the weight of a boulder The rich soil underneath us turning into quicksand Somehow I felt like a pebble in your hands Big enough to throw, but too small to know where it lands A breeze takes my thoughts with it as it moves past Focusing only on the moment and how long it will last
