Dive bar hideaway
Sipping from a frosted glass
Making strangers friends

2023.36

Slipping under sheets
To drown in comfort and sleep
Maybe dreams will come

One-word responses
Few and sent hours in-between
Must be going well

Sweat like morning dew
Breath like a warm summer air
Love like memories

I think about you
And I smile, but then I think
about what happened.

It was warmer then,
When we would share a blanket
And talk all night long

Warm for so long when
Properly insulated
But not forever

I had no idea
I had been holding my breath
Until you said, "yes"

Calling all numbers
Because I lost yours and I
Could use your voice now
