Melting Candles

I like the smell of liquor on your skin.
The playfulness of inebriation on our tired minds.

It was one of those days our hands felt like sweet-scenting melting candles
Our lips like cigarettes and sweet liquor.
Our love was this plethora of emotions.
A sickening mix of brown eyed blushes and ruffled short skirts.
Impromptu kisses over textbooks and blushing actions under tables.
Our love was grey feet from running in the euphoria of unspoken kind words.

We were drunk on nostalgia.
My heart hadn't beat so fast before.
With this longing glistening in your eyes.

We crashed.
Like two unwilling robots.
Programmed to run in the other direction.

We crashed.
My lips meeting yours first.
 Holding on to your breath like a source of life.

We crashed.
Your hand pulling on my skirt.
This sweet uncontrollable desire.
Like liquor and melting candles.

I like the taste of liquor on your lips.

The playfulness of inebriation on our tired minds.
