We could lose ourselves within each other; Like our hands were tourists, And our bodies were foreign countries.
We explored each other. Never staying with the tour group; Rather wandering off into the back streets of each others spines; Feeling our way around the insides and outs of one another.
And Although we were tied; We never allowed jet lag to get the better of us; Because we knew that our time was short; Our visas would end; And we both had plane tickets; And would be going home again.
With this said We never stayed long; Just long enough to see the sights; And attractions.
I admired the freckle on your neck; And the smooth change from pink lip to pale cheek on your face. I made a new home on the curve of your spine as it smoothed over your shoulder blades. Your body wasn't so foreign anymore.
Like blankets on a cold winters night, We smothered our hands over one another; Feeling our way through streets of bones; And ***** homes.
You followed my veins like a map; Leading you home.
Come home to me.
