east of toad island

you kissed my forehead
and left your lips for a moment as you pulled me closer
and you may not be here right now
but you still linger there
i wonder if you are feeling the way i do
i can’t tell if you’re nervous or uninterested at times
but the way you run your hands up and down my arms
your fingers trail the side of my face and you play in my hair
with your arms wrapped around me like you never want to let go
i don’t want to ruin this
i want to savor it as long as it will last
so hold me one last time
every single night
