Bubblegum Love
when sweat gathers between our enclosed palms fingers entwined i feel the gravity change
earth is light years away and her face is as bright as all of jupiter’s moons
i’m years away but we’re sat together
we share the same nose, the taste of bubblegum love as soft as her cheeks
though her eyes are prettier than mine
i would never have said that unless they were hers
she
us
here
with me
what else would align
perhaps i’m but a year older
she doesn’t believe that
the moon couldn’t have risen and set and risen
millions of times between us
i look to her and watch the world spill out like a bag of marbles
the missing came
like love had come
and at the edge of the world two girls sat staring into each other’s eyes
seeing someone else in its reflection
