I said
I wasn’t going to do
The on again/off again thing
With you.
But now here we are
Turned back on.
Again.
Wrapped ‘round each other
In the afterglow
I reveal myself
And all my secrets
And
As the tears dry
You whisper
Exactly
What I’ve always needed to hear
What no one’s ever bothered to say
Not just to say it
But because
You’re impeccable
With your word.
Because you mean it.
So much stands in the way
Of this crazy love lasting.
But right now
It’s your whisper
Your hands
That have my machine
Turned on.
The gears are moving again
They’ve been greased;
Recalibrated.
Everything hums along
Perfectly
And I
Just
Hum along.
What’s wrong with
Losing myself in you
For a while?
Nothing.
