still in love

after “Some part of this is like some part of that” by Lesle Lewis

your arms find something to wrap around teeth and all

you give what you give unthinking

I could have asked you for what I wanted if I had known what it was, so I’ll kiss you goodbye, miss you, miss you, miss you

you’re kind of a wolf

you’re holding my hand
