you smell like stale cigarette smoke and black coffee

like sleepless nights spent alone

and i'm tired

so tired

but your presence is like caffeine

 

.

 

you taste like chlorine

no matter how long it's been since your last swim

and i'm scared

terrified

of falling in love

 

.

 

it's two a.m.

i'm driving alone

and it's quiet

so quiet

but thinking of you keeps me safe
