Him

Your words shuffle through my head,
	Chase my thoughts in circles.
Your smile, your squinting eyes,
	I want to reach out and touch,
		Head on shoulder, arm on arm.
			You come closer.
		Smoke, skin,
	You’re in my lungs,
You warm my blood. 
	You light my cigarette,
I take my first drag.
	And my world spins,
		Hands shake,
			Heart murmurs.
