I touched your fingers
I touched your lips
And time stopped
Solid ice melted
Gliding through my entire body
Just from our heat
I wonder what just happened
But I don’t want to think about anything right now
I gaze at the moon outside my window
It’s like a movie that might air in the near future
Where androids
Devoid of emotions
Absorb their energy
From one another
I’m sure there’s some meaning behind it
But I can’t think about it too deeply
I bring a beer to my lips to kill the taste
An ashtray sits on the table
Aside a paperback about American history
Those must have belonged to him
Then, as if you’d been waiting
For me to say “I think I should be going soon”
You waved goodbye without a moment of hesitation
“I’ll catch you soon,” I said
Putting on my sneakers
And running to catch a taxi
I lay on my bed, listening to blues
You wouldn’t know who it was, even if I told you
But I’m sure it’s a song he liked
Even if we both have feelings for one another
We can only feel that way for a moment…
But you shared that moment with me
I touched your chest
I touched your lips
And time stopped
Solid ice melted
Gliding through my entire body
Just from our heat
I wonder what just happened
But I don’t want to think about anything right now
I gaze at the moon outside my window
Its light reflected in the 1:00AM expressway
