As I laid my head on your chest

 

Intentionally and unfairly

Your breath hitched and your eyes stole glances

And I imagined how much better it would feel

If this were allowed between us

If I hadn’t let go of you

If you didn’t want me back

If we were still us

Instead of you and I

But still I do what is forbidden

 

And listen to your heartbeat

And feel your warmth

And simply look at you


As I laid my head on your chest
