We rolled around in a sleeping bag with our shoes on
Our friends drinking whiskey beneath us in a cloud of smoke
You were afraid to say the things you wanted to say
I knew what you wanted to say
We played our guessing game, my knees bumped into yours
but you didn’t move them
You bit my lips with your teeth
under a sea of stars on a cloudless night
and I wondered if we would get married one day
Over the phone
I told you, "You’re my shining sun"
Scratched the words right into the sky with my tongue
I wasn’t old enough to drive yet
You pressed your chest against mine
in the heat of endless summers
when you'd run your fingers through my veins
and smile the way you always did
I pealed my freckles when the trees lost their leaves
in another city
where the streets don't connect
You always loved my freckles
