"She likes when you call her babyand you like the way she likes it.How you want her isn’t so..."

“

She likes when you call her baby

and you like the way she likes it.

How you want her isn’t so much

electric

as it is a slow burn at the tips of your fingers.

You’ve lost sleep thinking about her mouth.

She’s this buzz in your blood like

the radio down low and

humid nights in midsummer;

she’s all young love and

messy ponytails and

sweat at the nape of the neck.

You want to kiss her.

You’ve convinced yourself

that would be enough.
