remember that night
on the rocks by the river?
i couldn’t keep my hands
off of your hair
and you couldn’t keep
anything
i could smell the honeysuckle
which always makes me feel
so young and bare
and there was an innocence
to both of us
we could have dipped our feet
in the water that night
but we didn’t
we just splashed around in the air
there was something desperate
both of us begging
without knowing what
we were begging for
i have never been held that tightly before
everything was so truthful there
on the rocks by the river
that night.
