Finally Finished. (9/30)

You close in on my heart

Just as fast as anyone I've ever loved

For once the script is flipped

While my heart pumped blood
Behind the scenes

My mind fell in love with you

As soon as you told me I was beautiful

On that drunken Saturday night

Where I stumbled into a new world

Of smooth skin

Soft hair

Beautiful lips

And aggressive hands

A touch I've felt twice

And maybe never again

As I sit here

Jill Scott tone running through my head:

"You're getting married?"

Five years and two worlds separate us

But honey, you drew me in like no other

I only remember you

Out of all my nightly affairs

Apprehension never lingered on fingertips

As I tapped text messages into your psyche

Hoping that you'd still remember me
On those lonely days

But I digress...

No need to save face.
