if i close my eyes
i can almost feel
your skin brush mine
did you feel me shiver?
if i lean a little more
i would catch your
all too familiar scent
the one that made
me light headed
a mixture of temptation,
heat thrown with
a hint of danger
i can still smell you
in my sheets
my towel, my shirt
did you just whisper in my ear?
the sound brings
memories i long to forget
of me lying in your arms
safely, tucked away from the
rest of the world
waking up still enclosed
in your warmth
you missed me?
i'm trying not to miss you too. . .

your knowing smile,
those lips i have traced
with my fingertips
i can still taste
a bit of your sweetness
in my tongue
lingering, wrapping me in guilt
you were my one vice

you walk right past me
i almost reached out
to touch you
but i know i can't. . .

not when she's still holding my hand
