Carried Away

i got carried away today, thinking about how flawless our love was.
how timeless it felt when we would lay there day after day, sun turn to moon turn to sun again.
taking breaks from our sweat only to shower.
never hungry because i was filled with you, appetite complete
no need for water, each kiss quenched my every thirst.
no time for sleep because i never dare to take my eyes off of you.
and even if they closed for just a moment, i was secretly peaking thru my eyelashes
when you told me not to look.

i loved you like polka dot skirts and silver hoop earrings.
i loved you like new socks on my cold feet...like floetry and maxwell...i loved you like soul music.
i loved you for reasons known and unexplained.
i loved you for moments when i said nothing and you understood what i was saying.

and if i ever forgot, you reminded me just how good i look in those jeans
and whispered how soft my skin was...
you made sure i never forgot how you loved me.
appreciated my long nights and early mornings
because you know if i could be with you all day i would work overtime, taking no lunch breaks

because i loved you like soul music,
like my favorite beat...lyrically ill and untouchable
your song was made for me because its bass is my heartbeart.
and now im walking down the street,
getting carried away in my polka dot skirt and my silver hoop earrings
listening to my soul music and remembering a time when time was timeless...
