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

2023.39

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

Warm for so long when
Properly insulated
But not forever
