you entered me
and i can't imagine a world
without your smile.
we were allowed only a few moments
and the possibility of more-
if i was able to bend myself into those positions
and boxes.
time's passed and i wonder if i'll still have the energy
to fall for you. to replace parts of my flesh
with the longing of you.
healthy and unbalanced.
i cannot think of you without a smile-
even when the door's shutting behind me-
even when my purse is hidden
by the doorframe.
the absence is something
that i'm learning
and the lust is something i'm sure i could forget.
