close

Text note, racing mind, nothing said.
Short phrase, tear-filled eyes, walk away.
Get up, run, persuade.
Whisper, yell, at a stand still.
Mind stops, heart accelerates, please.
Closer, closer, hold.
Ramble, lips hushed, kiss.
Pinky promise from Ohio to a beach somewhere.

God dammit, I love the hell out of you.
