a home I do not live in

The taste of smoke on your tongue.

The smell of rain clinging to your skin.

Droplets fall from your soaking hair,

falling onto soft skin.

I breathe you in,

the smell of home.

I grab a towel and you fall to the floor,

finding the space between my thighs as I pat you dry.

Soft smile, soft touches, soft looks.

You turn your head, a soft kiss brushing against my skin.

A tingle left behind, burning a memory into me.

We fall asleep tangled in each others limbs.

When I wake, the smell of you still lingers.

The imprint of your shape still in my mattress.

You are a home I do not live in.

Gentle love that is not mine to keep.

A silent goodbye.

An empty house.
