HWYL

Sitting across the dimly-lit table

Alone

It wasn’t always like this…

*

My paramour

I was enamoured by you

Those chocolate-brown spheres

Setting my soul ablaze

Blasting me into oblivion

*

Your smile

I could walk a thousand miles

Just for that smile

*

At inception

Reciprocating your love

Was incipient

*

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”

Negative, captain

Absence makes you a goner

*

Can we just erase bad times?

And start again, one step at a time

Me and you falling into line

Just promise me

Promise me no regrets

Promise me that I won’t fret

Our love may not be the norm

But I want to wake up in the morn’

And inhale your breath

Making me higher than meth

To feel the stubble on your chin

Not to feel like it’s a sin

Make me feel like a king

My crown awkwardly placed

But you’ll adjust it

Kiss that face

And hold me tight

Straddle that waist

*

Sitting across the dimly-lit table

Then I step outside

I close my eyes

And let the rain trickle down my skin

That’s where it’ll all begin
