We chased shadows and ghosts and we weren't always the kindliest of ones. Now we chase dreams hold to memories and we reach out for summery reconnection.
under the skin, under the sheets,
under the water. What's another word for drowning?
Our past filled with smoke and hotel rooms. Private therapy. And a little twinge of pain when she drove off. because she was too close to what-might-have been. That little frenzy of bad habit. If there's no pain and no loss, it's only recreational, and we can leave it to the wolves. People have to be valued.
We exchange words few and far and in between our silences. I've found comfort in the knowing. in the heat of the summer night. just knowing.
