From the drivers seat I could scarcely eye the street
Your skin was bathed in amber light
And rain streaks
And for the remainder of the ride
You slept silent beside
From cradled heart-shaped cheeks
And legs crossed at the knee
I turned 22 and wrapped in tangled sheets with you
On the unfamiliar floors
Of people that you knew
Now we move far and out of touch
k** pleasantries in such
And truth be told, I think of you much too much
And once I whispered soft discreet, as you lay beside asleep
Your mouth agape and sweet
With bookends on your knees
And with pressed palms against my eyes
I still see you on that drive
Your face bathed in amber light
As you slept silent beside
