We were meant to cut the strawberries
But the second she walked out the door

I looked at you

You looked at me

And

we

paused

Then you stepped forward

You grabbed me close as if you were afraid
That I would float away
You kissed me hard
You lived in that moment
You thrived like it was the only thing keeping you alive

You picked me up and sat me on the counter
Twirling your fingers in my hair
Gently resting your hand on my back
Your kiss said more than words ever could
It was the best I'd ever had

I could hear your heart beating feverishly
Pounding inside your chest
It wanted more than to be in a kitchen
Cutting strawberries
