blue-eyed secret, august through december

end of summer, I looked unexpectedly into a pair of blue eyes
that tripped me.

we sat on my floor, legs crossed, knees barely touching, and all I had to do was lean over kiss you and suddenly things became
sweaty nights spent on a bed too small, and you were always a
slight bit shorter than me.
I never noticed the difference.

the leaves swirled around and autumn came as we shared hot chocolate, one dollar from a street vendor.
you never minded when I kissed you in public.

I bought you those gloves with the fingers cut off.

winter, and I would walk a solitary path
down an icy lane, seeing the lights of your building
my cheeks flushed, eyes bright
as I slipped my frozen hands beneath your sweatshirt
just to hear you yelp.

fire blossomed, and we didn't care who saw.

and as the final snow fell before we said goodbye
you wouldn't let me kiss you one last time.
