Summer Girl

Your hand in mine is warm; it chases away the cold in my veins,

Like winter, suddenly forming into summer, it’s beautiful.

The smell of the season lingers

And you carry the promise of a better future;

The silence is unbearable.

“Talk,” I tell myself and I try

But

Then your eyes reside to mine, your head dipped slightly

You look at me from beneath those dark lashes,

And oh, God, my breath catches and I need to hear those words from your lips:

“I love you.”

It comes in a whisper and I cannot help but watch as your mouth

Forms the words, breathing them alive

And

Before I know what I’m doing, I’m leaning in,

Closer and closer and closer.
