you walk swiftly ahead of me
I try to get you to slow down
you are full of smiles but also some pain
I lean up against your car
as you stand in front of me
and you look at me in the eyes
you grab my face with both your hands
“you’re just so tempting!” you exclaim
and I ask what you mean by that
but you just keep repeating
“you’re just so tempting,”
and I’m left with the memory
and the unexplained detail
of what you meant.
