Sea Legs
There are echoes of you in the crooks of my
elbows
Last tuesday, you kissed me so hard you
knocked the wind from my lungs
I was so dizzy and out of breath I saw the
electricity spark behind my eyes
You taught me how to dance, but I was clumsy,
always tripping over my feet
But you laughed like it was nothing, and the
sun spilled in the window, draping over your hands
You had the grace of a gentleman but the
mouth of a sailor
And I haven't gotten any sea legs, I apologize,
but I'd sail around the world for you
I just need to know that these seconds I
spend with you aren't a waste
I don't want to be a part of your
list of mistakes
I don't want you to be a part of mine
