fingertips.
3:14 PMI saw the lights line up last night.
Not the stars,
Just the street lamps.
I saw the hands on the asphalt,
And the skin,
And the sheets.
And it was real.
And I remembered other real things.
Self-help books and
Cop cars and
Trying to force an appreciation for country music.
I remembered swearing we could hear Indians while we sat on the little roof of the little house on the little mountain and I remember debating whether or not we would slip off the edge if we kissed up there.
And I remembered the night you did kiss me through a rolled-down window and how much nicer that was than you sitting shotgun.
And I remember now that real things are not always as they should be, and remembering is only words,
So we use our fingertips.
