During the dark cold months
layers cover my skin and my desire
The warm air carries the smell
of flowers and curiosity
I can't ignore it anymore
You got my full attention
We eat with our hands
We laugh
and then we swim in the ocean
I'd rather bathe in the green water
of your eyes
The greenest eyes I've ever seen
We sit on the sand side by side
I'm cold but I don't say a word
The silence holds this moment together
We are a snapshot in time
A picture of a memory
If I speak, I might wake up
I see the mountains in the distance
I wonder whether they can see me
and what they witnessed in the past
How many lovers at the beach
falling into the spell of sunset colors
I savor the tension between us
Like two magnets
our bodies pulled together
but we don't dare to touch
a hair's breadth keeps us apart
I can already taste the kiss
but the anticipation
is more precious than the reward
By the time I feel your lips
I'm suspended in the summer air
You taste like peaches and ocean
