Don't lose your trust

She called me crying. Yelling. "I'm lost and alone in the dark!" I tell her to please meet me someplace, anyplace. "Can you get to the Walgreens parking lot soon? I will be there please meet me there, it will be ok."

Her lights finally turn the corner. Sitting across one another in the back and holding her together with a warm grasp. "Somebody cares about you. Don't ever quit." Clearing away the teardrops. Her eyes. We kiss . Sadness melts into the air. Laughing. We draw hearts and initials on the steamed windows. Minutes and hours spent in embrace on the front porch. The sprinklers and sunrise are spying over our shoulders.

Cotton candy in our faces like mashing of wedding cake. Secretly listening to you sing from the other room. A footrub and two open ears greeting your longest days.

Our eyes never leave our gazes, cuddled in a candlelit bathe secretly hidden from all the planet.

You don't believe that this girl is my friend. What is making you so defensive? I'm jealous because you are my very everything. I just don't feel ready yet. I just feel that we're in a rut. It doesn't matter if you were drunk. Well then maybe I should take that job out there. I was lying the whole time. I never want to see you ever again.
