In the early hours of this morning it was far too hot for anyone to sleep.34Please respect copyright.PENANAOS2nPg7vW0
You told me I was strange and kissed me34Please respect copyright.PENANAxCIrvNzHpQ
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 fears34Please respect copyright.PENANAkfrf0OQuBK
just like your mother who never really wanted you to leave34Please respect copyright.PENANAhoUEt7TM1t
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 precise34Please respect copyright.PENANATdLTvHEC4o
I can see the house on the hill where we make our own vegetables out back34Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fzm4teC0g
and drink warm wine out of jam jars34Please respect copyright.PENANASXwUatiqpN
and sing songs in the kitchen until the sun comes up34Please respect copyright.PENANApEcGpzZXx3
wena you make me feel like myself again.
Myself before I knew any solid reasons to be afraid34Please respect copyright.PENANAFJWho4kQTY
Last night you give me the space to dream bigger than the single bed34Please respect copyright.PENANAYSB8SL8r28
and brighter than the morning34Please respect copyright.PENANAasUDo8w0LO
you laughed in your sleep and I cried in mine34Please respect copyright.PENANApDxFOrWdJJ
and this afternoon we might be tired because the sun is fierce today34Please respect copyright.PENANAebH6l1xgSj
and too much happened between midnight and now34Please respect copyright.PENANA2IkdLsirRG
But bhabha you are terrifying and brilliant so I am the kind of woman who is already teaching my body to miss yours34Please respect copyright.PENANA1taYPuEp04
without craving.34Please respect copyright.PENANAvNsEw0fR8I
I am the type of woman who is teaching my heart to miss yours without failing.34Please respect copyright.PENANATdd20U1FxK
And I am quite sure that you will find this unnecessary34Please respect copyright.PENANAoOfamDv81C
but I am already searching for a place to run to and hide when you say,34Please respect copyright.PENANADSLizhGh8l
"Uthando lwami. I'm ready. Are you?"34Please respect copyright.PENANActfOjZ5DTZ
You know that I would gladly drive with you to the other side of the world with only the clothes I am wearing34Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2e5WdsGcF
and the loose change and empty peanut shells in my purse.34Please respect copyright.PENANAsmaeKGwamm
kodwa every time you leave the room I worry.34Please respect copyright.PENANAFGgFrIBbmD
and think that perhaps I have imagined you.34Please respect copyright.PENANAQoz7bxcALb
or maybe you have imagined me.
