2023.41

Said I need to sleep
But we talked until morning
Guess that makes me wrong

2023.40

We stayed up learning
That weird dance you said you liked
I've forgotten it

She can handle two
Three would put her over hard
I think she's had four

She spoke with kindness
Eyes shone with sincerity
Until the doors closed

Dive bar hideaway
Sipping from a frosted glass
Making strangers friends

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
