I Can't Remember

I can't remember

How it felt

When the blanket of alcohol covered us, numbing our senses and slowing the vinyl to a near standstill. Exchanging body heat and laughter till the sun broke the surreal feeling of being frozen in time. Sweet nothings falling off of stale wine lips and loose tongues. Entangled legs with fingers tracing small marks of deep infatuation leading to bleeding hearts. Picking up clothes carelessly tossed about only to guide us

Where we'd find ourselves drawn too. Comfortable conversation lead by still lips, clasped hands used as gentle undertow to our favorite songs. Breeze blowing through tall trees and messy hair, reminding of the picture you quoted of finding a home between a neck and a collar bone. Exchanging "I Love you"'s between shows and extended road trips. Passionate kisses falling onto a familiar bed engulfing our senses and alleviating the world from sore shoulders. That same carelessness neglecting the fracturing foundation groaning

Why the signs were ignored. Driving in the fast lane bypassing rest stops designed for slow talking. The stagnant air around molehills turning into mountains that are becoming too steep to climb. Once comfortable silence becomes deafening and hearts weigh heavy slumping the happiness that once brightened up a room. Leaving each other's company without a kiss goodbye, catch the look of someone else in your eye, breaking of teeth with concrete lies, harsh jealousy pushing away Love that wants to try. Wondering, when we were no longer worth the fight.
