Everything Between Us

We spilled like wine on a late summer night,

under the hum of streetlights, our hearts took flight.

The air thick with longing, a promise unspun,

two bodies ignited, we burned like the sun.

I still feel the whispers of skin against skin,

a spark that ignited the places within.

But memories linger, like smoke in the air,

a frayed condom wrapper left out in despair.

When spring tries to thaw the frost in my chest,

I’m haunted by shadows of moments we blessed.

Each echo of laughter, a bittersweet ghost,

in the spaces between us, I miss you the most.
