muscle memory

i remember when i listened to your heartbeat.

(face against your chest

tendrils of heat

crushing the air

out of these lungs

of mine.)

 

i remember when we sat in the parking lot alone.

(they thought we were kissing

but i still can't

imagine it

not even

with you.)

 

i remember when streetlights slanted through a window.

(i don't want this to be

the last time

we see each other

and my voice

cracked.)

 

(but it was

it was.)

 

(i miss you.)

We all remember those days and the "I miss you's" perfectly penned emotion,,and I love the structure...x
