we sat next to each other
 and I ignored the tension
 and laughed and teased
 and felt at ease 
but you grabbed my hand 
and traced my palm. your touches slowly crawled up my arm, your thumb massaged mine 
and you pulled me closer 
and raised my hand to your mouth 
and kissed my fingertips with your soft, soft lips
. but this incredible lust 
would pass with time 
and you would never truly 
be mine. so I tried to convey all of my pain in a soft kiss on your shoulder 
and as I released myself from your grasp 
my eyes started to tear, 
and I forced myself to realize that it is probably best that I will never get back the sensation 
of having you at my fingertips.

my heart at my fingertips
we sat next to each other
 and I ignored the tension
 and laughed and teased
 and felt at ease 
but you grabbed my hand 
and traced my palm. your touches slowly crawled up my arm, your thumb massaged mine 
and you pulled me closer 
and raised my hand to your mouth 
and kissed my fingertips with your soft, soft lips
. but this incredible lust 
would pass with time 
and you would never truly 
be mine. so I tried to convey all of my pain in a soft kiss on your shoulder 
and as I released myself from your grasp 
my eyes started to tear, 
and I forced myself to realize that it is probably best that I will never get back the sensation 
of having you at my fingertips.
