You are so hard to convince-
Words were not the weapon
But the sight and smell and feel of it lured you in.
And once there you seemed relaxed
The cool water, the early morning sun,
The feel of skin on skin-
But when I opened my eyes
I saw your eyes open watching
and thought... Maybe one day
no matter whose around
your eyes will stay closed
Because you'll be lost
in a lifetime of me.


We can try again tomorrow
