your sweat reminds me of rain the scent is deep and strong you breathe a warm wind on my face your lips touch my ear with a secret that isn't there nothing is held back between us the strings pull away the suitcases and somehow we're free you're studying my skin as if your fingertips long for new territory and mine has yet to be explored but that gaze you lay with me leaves me reminded that you've always needed this and i've always needed this you waste away as my imagination wastes me and we go back to our daily demons grasping at the corner of a smile
