2023.24

Shiver in my throat
Fever rushing to my face
As I say, "Hello"

2023.23

Is it weird to say
She smelled of lazy mornings
Wrapped in fresh bed sheets

Let's walk the orchard,
Pick apples right off the trees,
And forget the world

Look like a sweater
Smell like a lazy morning
Beautiful, I say

Smiling through it all
The love, loss, tears, and laughter
Like a maniac

We talked the whole time
While the drive-in movie played
I miss that, really

I am reminded
I'll never say "forever"
When I think of you

Would it be so weird
To wave my hand goodbye and
Want you to wave back?

The stars shine brighter
And the whole world turns slower
Every time you smile

Your name, your number
Objectives set, mission failed
We'll get'em next time
