Flashbacks keep hitting – 

impassioned, relentless

Stories that sweeten each time they’re retold

Your hand touched my skin 

and the whole room caved in

Left my head spinning – straw into gold

Head rush of dopamine

You were so dope, I mean – 

You walked in – 

my veins filled with champagne

Fizz in my chest where my breath used to be

It was a wildfire I couldn’t explain

Your touch lingers like vibrations – aftershock

Movements like secrets we were meant to keep

Every glance like a nightlight – pillow talk

Was there something missing I didn’t see?

I replay it all in fragments – stop and start

The way my name dripped from your lips

I still feel the warmth when I think of you

caught in the gravity of your eclipse
