July 6th

I break all the rules.

I make the law.

I want you near me.

I want us in hot water where your problems and your questions could melt away. Mine will evaporate.

Nothing else exists in boiling water.

There are no more rules there.

Tonight, you decide that they don't matter, that only we matter.

We get close. We drift apart again. We empty the teapot. The music is playing on a loop. And I let everything go, almost completely. Do you like me? Do you want me when you play by the rules?

I think that deep inside, you can't erase me. You said so yourself. And then we wrote to each other regularly. And then you unveiled yourself. You were tired, but your eyes were still blue.

I can't resist your eyes and your lips.

I want you, and not only sexually.

I want to get to know you, to like you the way I like the people around me.
