Your Arms
You're sad so I embrace you
'For good luck' I say
I don't want to let go
Pressed up against you
Feel your warmth radiate
Through your thin sweater
Your chest beats against my
breast
And I can't catch my breath
I want to press my lips
To your exposed neck
But I resist instead inhaling
The scent of your cologne
It's been a long time since
We have been this close
You rub my back and I step
away
Knowing that you
Do not belong to me
But I can't help but remember
How it felt to be in your arms
And then life goes on
