my lips were swollen
it was the only proof that it had happened
i could still feel your chest against mine, your erratic heartbeat
as we made eye contact, i could feel the warmth of your embrace
and when scarlet invaded your cheeks, my heart had skipped
a beat
your eyes zeroed in on my smile and i could feel the heat of the storage room
and yet you looked away from me in what could only be described as shame
your lips were swollen
it was really my only proof that it did happen
proof that you held onto me desperately and i reciprocated
only to step back at the sound of four muted beeps
silence followed, as if it were the best that you could offer
but i preferred the quiet staredown over your hushed words.
okay. go.
you had been pining for me to stay just moments before
one word bubbled from between my lips
then, and now too
why?
the answer was simple, it wasn't supposed to happen
because it was just the heat of the moment
our lips were swollen, but as everything is with you, even this moment was fleeting
