You

i think of you in lyrics

the words you speak melt into me like the melody of an orchestra and they settle there, in my skin

i replay those verses over and over

they never lose their sweetness

the chorus never ends

i feel you in waves

the ripples touch my skin from head to toe until i am covered in their salty crashes

i would drown in that water

i can't breathe and i dont want to

it doesn't make any sense

i taste you in my morning tea

it gets me out of bed and the flavor lingers throughout the day

it slides down my throat and drowns out the butterflies i get when you look at me

somehow they come back every time

they're okay with the fire that comes from being so connected to another soul

they're not hurt by the sparks

they dont

mind the flames
