Description
your pastel lit me up like the lighter for your smoke
in September days, sunny smile not puttering out
I didn't really see you until October
and I hid because you liked Halloween and I liked you
and God, you were not allowed to see me shying away from your stories
(I revolve around your laughter, loud in my thoughts)
coffee-skin boy, touch my arms again, see how bright I get against your dark; just never notice how I blush
when I think of summer I think of your warmth, and the cold reminds me of your bright;
this year fading into a new one won't steal you from me-
I tuck you into the empty spaces I carry
