Red

Sunset
and I see you across the field
We meet halfway
and smile.
No greetings needed
just nods and laughter
smiles.
How I love making you smile
Your eyes sparkle
sparkle
And I wonder if you see
the heat rising in my face
up
up
My cheeks are burning.
Sunset
The sunset is red
I stare and you laugh
and laugh
and laugh
Your laugh is so beautiful
I want to make you
laugh like that every day
for the rest of my life.
I bite my lip
until the blood drips out
Because I can't help myself
I can't stop staring.
You touch my lip with your
fingertip.
Gently
softly
like a feather.
You tilt my chin up
and the heat rises
up
up
And I shiver
and I'm shaking
But you hold me still
and your eyes
they are dark
but they burn
Red
Red like the sunset
There's a smile in them
the smile I want to see
for me
And your lips
so sweet
meet mine.
You pull away
It lasted for a moment
and I can't stare at you
anymore
So instead I stare
at the sunset
so red.
My cheek as you stroke it
burns.
Like your eyes.
Like the sky.
Red.
