Ours

You know how you know the moon's name, but it doesn't know yours?

feels like being sidetracked

How its light beams mildly to your eyes, but yours, just irrelevant

Cold breeze makes you shiver

but the night takes no effect from you

 

_It's nothing like your touch,_

 

You touch me like a cotton ball,

carelessly, effortlessly gives a sign of relief

A sigh of affirmation,

of how this spot is reserved for only me

and your hands are designed to remember every edge of my body

and how you say my name,

like its the only thing that matters

and how your gaze sends electric signals as you utter words, so gently.

I feel my knees melting

_No, I can't feel them anymore_

And I feel like I'm _floating_

 

The night, once against me, has become my fortress, our fortress.
