Freckles
I’m looking at her like, her eye contact just kissed me
Like if I look away I’ll no longer be able to breathe
She noticed my attention was aimed so she used a statement as ammo
To scope the particular shade of red
I see you’re distracted,
This statement is really a question
I answered
Yes, your freckles got me in a chokehold
Got my nerves jumping rope, and
I haven't taught my double entendres how to double dutch
But they are familiar with working over time
So let’s go double or nothing on love not because either of us loss
But selfishly I want to experience this twice
And the second somehow felt better than the first
One might say I’m mighty fond of you
Scratch that I wish I could make each freckle melt only to paint them back on
So I could say I helped God finish His masterpiece
Your freckles mine as well be THE Starry Night constellations
The way you look like the most priceless work of art
Your freckles give me butterflies and I’m just hoping one will land on your heart
Like I want to be the one to protect your heart
Let me kiss your heart since the sun kisses you in ways I can’t
I can’t think of a better ending than I love you but its time will come soon
This is just the second date and I’m shy so all of that will go unsaid
Treading water in my head to simply answer her statement with
Getting distracted is easy when I’m around you
Then an unheard whisper said
p.s. I wish I could kiss every one of your freckles…
