“
I will be
anything. I will be anything if it means I get to be with you.
I will be the sun if it means you’ll love me. I will be
the sky if it means you’ll touch me. And you’ll be
the only one touching me. I will be orange when you wrap your
hands around my throat. Blue when you can’t sleep enough.
You are every color i will ever need. Put your hands on me and
i will tremble and i will tremble all the stars with me. The
entire sky will be burning with your name. Did i say it
already? Do i get to repeat? Please. Let me say it again. Here,
my hands, my shoulder. Would you like some coffee? I will be
the mug and the coffee in it. Did you know your sighs are every
prayer i ever needed? I like your knees. I like what your mouth
does to my name.
