we're getting older
too
time is slipping past us
permeating through our bones
making them as fragile as the
peanut brittle my grandmother munches
every Sunday afternoon
Ritualistically
i scan your social media
secretly check up on your well being
i long to savor your skin once again
i want our legs to intermingle
and our hair to tangle
i want sweat coating our bare bodies
i want you
in the simplest ways
i want you
in every crevice of my being
