Even When We’re Apart

Summer nights

Bonfires and red cups

Wicked games in motion

Your eyes on mine

The past is between us

The heat of your gaze, a reminder

Of want, of need

Of ills borne

We’re several feet apart

Churning emotions

Holding hands we do not belong to

You don’t want me anymore

He calls me pretty

I do not mind

If only to see you

To remind you that maybe you still want me

Even when we’re apart

You’ll find me…around the perimeters of your presence

In the corners of your eyes

In the mark upon your skin

Love, E
