it's dark
and a little cold
you can feel
winter kissing
the air

the stairs
are made
of steel;
frozen

we are intoxicated
i am tipsy
you are drunk

we're laughing

my shirt
falling
off my shoulder
your eyes
glow in
the dark
as you throw
back your head
and
laugh

i tease you
by licking your straw
and think of how the
milkshake
would taste so
much better
off your
lips

you tease me
playing with
my glasses
and
tickling
my leg
with
your
feet

"try me"
i say
i am trying
to
act like i am
bigger than
my body
i am playing
a game
you are a
king of

"oh, really?"
your
breath is
on my
lips
and i can feel
the heat in
the cold winter
night
i can
see your
freckles
they are brighter
than the stars
in the black sky

we looked at each other
a little too long
to be
"just friends"
