i told you not to kiss me
because your blood was full of alcohol,
and you couldn't think straight.

i told you not to kiss me
because I was intoxicated with feelings
and I wanted to kiss you as well.

i told you not to kiss me
but you whispered things.
and we got closer,
so close, that for a second,
i thought we were a single person

i told you not to kiss me
because when our lips met
and our hands touched
there was no other place that felt like home,
than you

and now your kiss is inked in my bones,
and my lips carry your name.

i told you not to kiss me.
