I don’t know you
Its hard to
With a body -
Our only connection
-standing between us.

I think I like you.

You remind me of laughter,
The deep kind-
With belly rumblings like thunder
And lightening flashes of teeth-
Like storms over rough waters.

I am caught off guard when I think of you.

Sometimes,
The taste of sea salt
Or a certain shade of blue
Will call your memory forth.
The suddenness of it
Rocking me like a violent tide.

I don’t know you,
But I find myself content
With the surface and sandy shores of you.

I think that’s okay.
