i will remember summer nights
i was a firefly when you were around
we flirted with starlight
and held hands with the moon
and each other
you breathed out
and i breathed you in
skin cells
allergens
i took it all in and i
smiled.
the world is a good place in the heat
of your arms and the city.
i have to remember that.
(yes, i will carry you through
to winter
when water freezes and
my blood turns cold
in my chest.)
