love isn't the right word
Your chapped lips
Crush against mine
The smell of smoke
Lingers around our bodies entwined
I push you down
On top of the night grass
Covered with dew
You complain about the wetness
Saying your shirt is new
But it’s okay really
Modest mouse
Playing in the background
Because that’s what I picked
Even though I was anxious
About you not liking my music taste
And so you said “so what if I don’t”
My lips on your neck
Your hands in my hair
I don’t think that there is
Anywhere I’d rather be
The night sings around us
The cold windy air surrounds us
You pull me closer
And whisper false illusions of hope
Into my chilled ears
And I believe you
And you believe me
Because tonight
We only have each other.
