Truly

summer romance

I keep it locked down

I swallow the memory of us 

it stays in the pit of my stomach 

I try to keep it there 

because the bittersweet romance 

that's enough to break my soul wide open 

leaves me breathless, speechless 

I can no longer dream of you 

it's poking an open wound with a stick  

that sultry, sexy, temptation we gave into 

I wanted that forever, 

truly 

but I lost you 

before you were ever mine
