A watery eye and a velvet cheek
Toes tapping the number of stars in the sky
A steady rhythm
Salty mouths and chapped lips
Your silver outline dances with me in the comfortable darkness
It's warm and unexpected
Our shirts itch between our chests
The ground only appears beneath our feet
Long fingers and dropped shoulders
The freckles painted on your body
The sudden shape of your curves and edges
We've done this before
You used to be a mystery to me
A question I never wanted answered
The sweet when I bite into a honeydew
The tang of that first sip of tea
The relief of scratching a bug bite
The ease in my back when I sit down
The sigh that escapes when I drop into the bath
The yellow moon is winking at us
She knows the answer, but I turn
I meet the eyes I've met countless times before
This is familiar to us
But never old
