There.

There.

I could smell your hair
Laying here on my shoulder
Waving along my breath
Your hand on my chest
And I could feel his eyes
Flaring with disbelief
How much he wanted you
To be anywhere but here

I could sense your warmth
Sinking my body
In a small pressure bubble
Holding it tight
And he was short of breath
After all the dancing
Skewing his approach
At every exhalation

Suck in air, I say
Take it in
Slowly
You were there once…
You were, there…
