My mouth turns dry as I watch you move

I wonder what it will be like to kiss you

Your blossom-soft lips sweet on mine

Glistening with madness and uncertainty and lovesick desire

Everything is smooth and drip drip dripping

I lick the essence of you from my fingers and it tastes like honey

We are reckless and beautiful

We cut off our hair and call it a lesson in letting go

There is a cigarette slipped between your lips

And I take it out tenderly with rosebud fingertips

You look at me with tear-stained cheeks and my heart breaks a little

I can't help but think that it's too late and you've lost your way

This is why I hate the ocean

Things are always ***** and disappearing

Nothing is soft like you think it is

Nothing is safe like you wished it would be
