The first time you kissed me,
you kissed me so hard I assumed my lips would stay stinging with the taste of beer and my best friends lip gloss for the rest of my life

Your hands fearlessly roamed to innocent parts of me, leaving all the land mines I had buried earlier to erupt beneath my skin,
The aftershock kept me shaking for months.

I was dizzy, the scent of your cologne was making my head too heavy
So I rested it on your naked chest and listened to your heart beat and your heavy breath

Your eyes burned into mine when you looked up at me
But they weren't oceans for me to drown in, they were ******* galaxies for me to get lost in

I thought these side effects of you would last forever
But now I'm laying in bed and the clock says 2:14 and I feel nothing
Everything you made me feel was gone just as quickly as it had arrived.

My lips aren't stinging
I am not shaking  
I'm no longer dizzy
My ears aren't echoing with the symphony of your heartbeat and heavy breath
My eyes aren't burning

Oh god please come back
Caroline
