remember

remember when we were young and our bones ached?

longing to run when we could barely crawl
you wrapped your arms around me so tight
the world could end and we would not know it.

and it started just like this. just like this.
We climbed into our bodies once again
first peeking through the ears
finally stretching out into our limbs

We'd talk all night
whispering on the phone secrets we could only tell in the dark
our laughter running against each other
dancing in streams of light against my bedroom walls
now you've planted some wrinkles in creases around your eyes
harvested some greys in those crescent waves of coal
and in this moment I can only think of the past and nothing else
