the smell traced against the sky
and magnets erased our distance
long lashes clapped slowly
and i fired off a single wink

the softness of embrace
stopped the world from spinning
when i was all she cared to see

the slight dusting of brown hair
and embers fought off the cold
soft lips wandered dangerously
and i made a quick joke

she giggled
offering her hand
promises were made
to be kept
