The beginning of forever
Posed and prettied, blown kisses left uncaught and frozen in midair.
Sunsets and Sunrises, like the inside of a fish's belly. Streaks of purple and specks of gawdknowswhat.
It's been a while, hasn't it, darling?
It's been a terribly long while.
Do you still remember me or are you shaking hands with someone new,
yet grabbing that extra sweet martini, just like you used to?
lifting half of that heavensent-addictive cookie you've gotten your hands on- to lips, my lips, exactly the way you would've.
Two bodies tangled up;
Your hand is mine and mine is yours.
Your feet, slipped inbetween both of mine so it's not half as cold.
Warm fingers running over bare shoulders and waking up to the bite of morning wind.
Teethchattering, spasm-like shuddering, shoving popsicle feeties into slippers. Gripping each other for as much warmth as possible. Selfishly slipping a cold hand under your tshirt, making you jump.
Bound at the waist and rubbing my nose into one of my favourite parts of you, right under your collarbone.
Fingers laced and awkward, irregular and halting steps down to the seafront.
Snap and whirr of the professional, catching every other onguard and offguard smile, grunt, pout. Unglamorous and beautiful, morning mugs and sleepy eyes.
Send the birds our hellos, and smile feebly at unsmiling neighbours. Feet dragging, shoulder sagging, back to home.
To fall asleep all over again, bury myself in the scent of you and me, pretending that this is just the beginning of forever. Clean sheets and too many pillows, goodnight moments taken for granted. Falling jackets and sighs of contentment, pretending that this is just the beginning of forever.
Pretending,
that this -the moment, the minutes and seconds, ticking clock, replayed music-
is just the beginning of forever.
