warm and inviting his shirt against my skin
and I'm doing everything I can to change the way it's been
our silence like a siren, it's all i can hear
I don't want to be the first to talk, strictly out of fear
My stomach does a flip, followed by a flop and then butterflies are born
Oh, to know what it feels like to be lovelorn
Our eyes finally linked and he said,
"We haven't met yet, I'm ted."
my mind is all over the place, I wish it was easier
I want to reach for his hand, but mine get sweatier
I can't talk, instead I smile and nod
I try to keep a calm, mature facade
He loses interest and looks away
I'm used to it, for me, it's just another day
rays so soft it melts my heart
warmth creeping beneath my skin
it creates love
radiating the earth and my soul
the source of life
until the end of the earth and back
illuminating all of God's gifts

dirty, torn
rough around the edges
faded
frayed
holes
strings
old, aged
seen more than the town whore
hand-me-down
Jeans
salty, damp, air.
waves crashing
ocean water
clear blue
chilling to the bones
refreshing to the soul
