I become distracted as the bright, hot sun flashes above me.
Trying to hold myself together as sweat glistens from my face.
Bored by the dragging hours, hoping the day would end,
until my eyes met the brown eyes the sunlight danced upon.
The air no longer burns
as I drown deeper in your direction.
Standing there like a tall drink of water,
sounding like you belong.
But now I know I belong each time you drift closer.
Your body slightly resting against my leg,
tension curls through the silence.
Could this be a fire that even cold water cannot ****
An undiscovered taste you leave in my mouth
when I speak to you in fear.
Should I bite?
