mumbles

if i were pregnant, i would never wear a shirt so everyone could see

i don't know why i thought of that as i was

talking you to sleep, i thought it and didn't say it and then heard you say, 'i want you always'

so quiet i could hear your eyelashes scraping against my skin

your breath is the forest and i think about when walking and smoking and trying to find new things in the same.

remember the first time we touched each other?

now sometimes i feel guilty for taking up all the happy, especially when you put your lips a half second away from mine and the tiny things mean everything.
