Memories of you haunt my skin
Often you are intangible, unreachable
Occasionally
You allow yourself to be magnetized by my need
You tease me
You give me five seconds of your breath
Only to steal it back with a kiss
And you leave
And I am forced to pick apart these remnants of you
To draw them out on my own sanity
Until the next time that you decide
To greet me with loving arms
An innocent smile
And a soul wrenching kiss
But it's worth it.

Memories of you haunt my skin
Often you are intangible, unreachable
Occasionally
You allow yourself to be magnetized by my need
You tease me
You give me five seconds of your breath
Only to steal it back with a kiss
And you leave
And I am forced to pick apart these remnants of you
To draw them out on my own sanity
Until the next time that you decide
To greet me with loving arms
An innocent smile
And a soul wrenching kiss
But it's worth it.
