and although the cold clung to our skin raising goosebumps

reciting old ques of winter

my cheeks swelled with heat as they froze content by your touch

like the falters of laughter

like the silence after a closed books

like the creak of the shut door

like sitting on a dense couch after a party

like the you and me looking at the sky and its infinity

The universe swallowed us

And it ended

the only thing worth remembering about that night

wouldn't be your drooping fingers over my waist

or your freakishly big hands that flowed freely like waterfalls through mine

it wouldn't be the dried tongue lounging, spiting awkward words in my mouth that never made it out

nor be how beautiful you looked as the vehicle hummed and your desired eyes stayed on me

with the low dimmed lights from the passenger to the driver seat illuminating the dewy touch beyond the skin of us

no it would have been the mere second

between both worlds of the night

one traced silently on the pond

the other crashing down through the atmosphere of oxygen

making me lose my breathe

right then and there

I couldn't help but feel

as endless as the stars were and more

as if there was nothing that could be as forever as us

your hand was holding mine as we leaped into the next second building on this

but us didn't exist anymore

you had let go
