We stood in the street.

We were at a stoplight and I was kissing him hard. 

I wanted to feel flesh against flesh and remember why. 

We drove 100mph on the freeway to rid his car of moisture from the gas station car-wash. 

A bridge.

Haven't we all wanted to jump?

Tell me secrets and I'll cradle your head in my hands and understand. 

My eyes watered and so did yours. 

What timing! When did you decide that you realized that I needed you just as eagerly?

How'd you know?

I would have grasped on tight and pulled you back like some hungry moth seeking out the light.

We were in your parked car then.

Our bodies, leaning against one another heated the windows so that we could finger paint our love. 

"I love you"

somehow you were thinking of marriage and all I want is a blade of grass knotted around my finger. 

I would so.

More pictures and I told you what it was like to not be wanted by the man of my own creation.

Then I cried softly and so did you,

for you could not imagine a life where nobody would ever want you.

"You are a beautiful human being"

Your whispers made his absence numb. 

"You didn't deserve that"

And both our tears fell.

I am so deeply in love and would like the blade of grass.

Write it on the window and kiss me goodnight.
