she said we need to slow down

we don’t want to wake up in the morning with regrets

i just arched an eyebrow

baby, we’ll still be up when the sun rises if we continue what we’re doing now

she looked shocked

for a second

and then we proceeded to not see the sun rise through the blinds with eyes closed in ecstasy

i never said anything about regrets after lunch

i knew i wouldn’t have any

she leaned in for a kiss as i went to the door

it was soft and sweet

we knew each other well at this point

a night of hands and tongues and

other things

my problem was i like the soft kind of kisses

and she was especially gifted at them

and other things

i felt my hands begin to explore

she wasn’t fighting

she asked if she would see me tomorrow

i told her she could have all of my tomorrows

she said that sounds like a line

i cupped her chin and pulled her eyes to mine

one i’ve never uttered before

and she melted into my chest

took three days to finally leave

dessicated like a mummy

exhausted from no more than two consecutive hours of sleep

it took months before we finally regretted things in the morning

she still calls to this day

she took enough of my tomorrows for granted though

fun while it lasted though
