In the early hours of this morning it was far too hot for anyone to sleep.381Please respect copyright.PENANACxJ7oK9I7i
You told me I was strange and kissed me381Please respect copyright.PENANAcVPbYn52wA
sunk your teeth into my soft bottom lip twice. So hard I thought you drew blood.
I keep getting the scary feeling that if you look at me for long enough you may see that I have a thousand fears381Please respect copyright.PENANAcNR0X1nsu7
just like your mother who never really wanted you to leave381Please respect copyright.PENANAUci6PkeDlF
meanwhile mina I am catching up on the sleep that we missed and waiting patiently to feel normal again.
my thoughts about you are frightening but precise381Please respect copyright.PENANA9hjzkNKdFZ
I can see the house on the hill where we make our own vegetables out back381Please respect copyright.PENANAedQuEY8L7A
and drink warm wine out of jam jars381Please respect copyright.PENANAgUp1IPpqW0
and sing songs in the kitchen until the sun comes up381Please respect copyright.PENANAUouNqkSr7k
wena you make me feel like myself again.
Myself before I knew any solid reasons to be afraid381Please respect copyright.PENANAjkFCY03Kfr
Last night you give me the space to dream bigger than the single bed381Please respect copyright.PENANAdnPEd9B1hf
and brighter than the morning381Please respect copyright.PENANAdVQey8nres
you laughed in your sleep and I cried in mine381Please respect copyright.PENANAI6645mEopa
and this afternoon we might be tired because the sun is fierce today381Please respect copyright.PENANA8NFnU33uCK
and too much happened between midnight and now381Please respect copyright.PENANAaTzjouE3Nt
But bhabha you are terrifying and brilliant so I am the kind of woman who is already teaching my body to miss yours381Please respect copyright.PENANAw3d3TlwNqi
without craving.381Please respect copyright.PENANAp3kKeCoTBB
I am the type of woman who is teaching my heart to miss yours without failing.381Please respect copyright.PENANA3L7KqdcT8C
And I am quite sure that you will find this unnecessary381Please respect copyright.PENANAOEzlqiO8Hq
but I am already searching for a place to run to and hide when you say,381Please respect copyright.PENANAyopxgaVQz8
"Uthando lwami. I'm ready. Are you?"381Please respect copyright.PENANAn60ub4d30O
You know that I would gladly drive with you to the other side of the world with only the clothes I am wearing381Please respect copyright.PENANABBibBhFwwn
and the loose change and empty peanut shells in my purse.381Please respect copyright.PENANAsv3EvP1Lir
kodwa every time you leave the room I worry.381Please respect copyright.PENANA0AchAv7PrS
and think that perhaps I have imagined you.381Please respect copyright.PENANATptOndkI3P
or maybe you have imagined me.
