I kissed you once
and that was all it took.
My fingertips melted
into the depths of your skin.
My lips were on yours
like the brushing of waves
against sand.
I seeped into you
like the sun into the horizon.
We were a sunset.
Blues and reds.
Yellows and pinks.
A reflection in the ocean.
Blinding.
Hypnotising.
Mesmerising.
We were helplessly trapped
in the beauty of a sun
we hoped would never set.

(The shadows of distance are creeping up on us my love, and I am so afraid of the dark)
