Cold feet & Blueberry Kisses
Infatuated in trusting my instinct
kind and tender
giving and colorful
Cold skin blueberry taste
show me i’ll feed you
make me laugh
tenderness in the quick, soft kiss you gave me
staying together just to stay together
to make us stop and rest
come here,
i cared, i really cared
clouded minds, same love, different lives
i loved you, because i loved myself
i want you to think of me as much as i think of you
remember me as much as i remember your kind touch
your fingertips on my cheek
they said good luck
